I am really enjoying this set of pictures Marvin.. Trout Lily conjures up many things, mostly poaching the odd trout or two from a local river when younger.
I love the woodland flowers---your photos are beautiful. We don't have any frog eggs yet in our pond but the Redwinged Blackbird is very vocal when I am out there. MB

I love all of the recent flowers & the snake! We had lots of trilliums growing wild up in Canada...Guess that's why they're the provincial flower of Ontario! Sorry for my continued absence lately. I'm having back problems & sitting at the computer doesn't help. <:(
Marvin-- Great photos and I see your blog already knows I linked this at the current edition of Berry-Go-Round at Foothills Fancies. Let me know if there's a problem, and keep up the good work!

Hi, I came over here from a comment you left on my friend's blog. Love the flower photos! The detail is fantastic.
Beautiful flowers Marvin. I can't wait to see them in the woods where we walk. These are some of my favorites.
Ok Marvin- I have a bit of floral envy after looking at your images. We're nowhere close!
Great shots.
Tom
Marvin, I can't wait for our trilliums and trout lilies to show up! I would be happy with colts foot! 101% Jealous!!
Your spring has truly sprung there and we are way behind you here. Nice photos.

Dear Marvin,
I love wildflowers! Your photos are excellent! Thanks for the research too.
If it would just warm up a bit more I would take a hike too. It is still early here but maybe a few wildflowers have emerged.
You are inspiring me.
Thank you,
Sherry
I love all of the recent flowers & the snake! We had lots of trilliums growing wild up in Canada...Guess that's why they're the provincial flower of Ontario!
