I’m excited to be back in the woods! This morning, I went back, without fog, and stayed for almost two hours. I was on a hunt for wildflowers, but they were not to be found.
I looked high and low, hither and yon, to and fro and not a wildflower was spotted. Oh well. I had a great time listing to the woodpeckers, the squirrels scampering about, and the trickle of the stream.
On the way I out I saw one of the employees and asked him where was the best place to see wildflowers. He told me that I was about 2 weeks too early, but that when they do start to show up, he told me which trails were good for spring, which for summer, and which for late fall and autumn. Sweet. Nice having someone on the inside.
So, I just spent my morning looking at moss, fungi, and the daffodils. A great morning and a wonderful day thus far, about 75 degrees and sunny. Not bad for March 1st!

It’s my experience that when you stop having intentions of what it is you THINK you need to photograph, and you start to just enjoy the place as you were doing, then what you SHOULD photograph reveals itself before you eyes.

Thanks, Colin. Sometimes I seem to need to get distracted, go around the bend, and then come back before I can see clearly. I love having the camera to my eye; however, obviously, there are some things that I like to photograph more than others.

Reading your post this morning brought a smile to my face. One aspect of the east I will always miss is the spring and all the flowers among the green. Glad you had a wonderful day on the first of March. i will be looking forward to those flower images in two weeks.
