Trout Lily
We enjoyed fall photos and winter photos..it is only appropriate we have a spring photo thread.

I was so excited to find my first wildflower of 2008 today. The hubby and I went out wondering today and took a short walk at Eva Chandler Preserve not far from Ceasars Head.

no spring here yet in southern PA, but I don't think it will be long. We're heading into the 60s tomorrow.

Road trip to Table mountain in order!
Guess I need to head up to table mountain soon. The flowers there usually look like the ww pics. Probably early this year due to the nice warm sunshine we've been having.

Treebait,
]Not sure of the 'kind' of Camillia. It was here 19 years ago when we moved in.

The second photo is a 'Decorative Pear' tree.
Makes an awesome fall color photo as well.

WW, that picture is just plain Biblical. I expect to see a young kid with a staff and a flock of sheep come over that hill.

Must go hiking!
I'm heading to Pt. Reyes this weekend. Hope to see some color. Although, it's calling for rain, rain, rain. Going to Table top next weekend. Anyone want to go? Should be lots of color there.
