Spring Beauties and other spring beauty.....

Still working on my spring pictures.

Today, we have turtles and wildflowers for you!



I always love spotting the "first" turtle in the wild woods every spring...it just confirms that Spring really DID arrive!:






My photography instructor told us to find a photo of "texture".
This is one of the finalists, but I did not pick it for my class project.

But I do love the texture of the wisps!:







This wildflower is called "Spring Beauty":









This one is called "Trout Lily":








We saw this very ODD root on a little pond...doesn't it look like a snake?:










More "Spring Beauties":








Trout Lily up close!:


As you read this, I am out taking mid-summer photos for you....
This Spring and Summer has been extremely busy so I hope to post again soon...

I hope your summer is going wonderfully for you and bringing you joy and happiness!

    wow, it does look like a snake and every one of these has lots of texture in it, and all are fantastic, so you must be getting A's in photography school.

    The Trout Lily is a beautiful flower and one I have never seen.

    I'm catching up. Great texture photos in the last two posts, and I do love the lovely early spring bloomers.

    They are beautiful shots. I really like spring because of all the neat flowers that shoot up from nowhere.
