Woodland Flowers
Woodland Flowers
I like hiking though the woods on a sunny, Spring day. It feels good to be outdoors and walking the trails and creek beds of a protected wildlife area this time of year. After a long winter it is rejuvenating. At first, my gazing around is open wide taking in the general sites and sounds of the landscape. I start looking for the small stuff but it takes me awhile to see what is actually all around me. Spotting my first Trout Lilly in partial bloom, I kneel down to take a closer look. I take several shots with a 100mm macro lens with ring flash attachment, then pause to look around. I can see them now pushing up past dead leaves and lichen-covered branches. They are all around me. Then other small beauties begin to appear. Tuned-in now, I am ready for an enjoyable day of macro photography. Care to help with some of the identification?
