Trillium currently

 This is the state of the Trillium for the other day.  The freeze has taken it's toll.

This guy is not unscathed but doing well.

Very cool morning

 It was very cool, not a frost, this morning which is probably why this Bloodroot lost it's pedals.

 Seeing this Purple Trillium was a HUGH surprise.  It must be mid May.

Even this trillium is ahead of it's time.  We will see what happens after the freeze tonight.

A cool and rainy day in March

 Bloodroot curled up angst the rain

 I think I finally figured out what this was last year later in the season, but I have forgotten.

A Trillium that should be at this stage in mid to late April not March

Wild flowers

I am lazy so I don't know what this is, but it aint supposed to be in bloom now.

Yet again ... No Snow!

Worst of all ... I had to mow the lawn!  What the heck!  I could mow it next week and it would still be March.  I SHOULD BE SHOVELING SNOW OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.

Woodduck

Male woodduck.  I love to try to get these guys but they are skittish and not found that often.

Fog on the Moors

 The fog was on the trail this morning ...

It has been warm enough that the moss has blossomed and may be in full bloom this afternoon.

Spring ... maybe

 This view of the bridge shows the bridge over the creek unfortunately the water between is the creek changing course.

 This is the opposite view.  Soon this will be a bridge to an island.  Nature doing it's thing.

 How warm is it?

This warm.

A late snow storm

 These deer graze in the snow as it begins to fall this morning

Later everything was covered and the sun came out.

A Robin enjoys the sun, but the worms are still in the frozen ground.
