    Finally found a moment to look through my files and share some spring blossoms!

    1) Spring Blossoms in the Woods

    2) Crocus

    3) Montana Bluet

    I may come back and switch out one or two of these but we'll see.

    1) White tulips (and a few party crashers)

    Garvan Woodland Gardens, Hot Springs Arkansas

    2) Virginia Bluebells

    Taken at Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, James Madison University, Harrisonburg VA

    3) Tulip top view

    I was too lazy to change from my 90mm macro lens so two tulips got a bit of a shave.

    I hate to be a "please don't conider theses as entries" person, but this time it must be so. We are going on vacation in a week and a half and the planning is somewhat complex ( a bike trip to France! ) so I've got not time. But I couldn't resist posting a ferw photos because I love the subject so much.

    These were all taken on recent bike rides in our city forest.

    1) Columbine

    2) Wild Iris

    3) Thistle

    This shot is for context - the site of pictures 2 & 3.

    All of the entries so far are so beautiful I very glad I don't have to judge!
