'Tis May

Below are photos of wild moments I enjoyed during an early-May stroll at home…

---

Wood Windflower by the driveway

---

Dwarf Ginseng flowering by the creek

---

fuzzy ferns unfurling… or perhaps doubled-over in laughter (once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it!)

---

Wild Sarparilla leaves soon to unfold, with clusters of flower buds below

---

Balsam Fir sapling

---

Starflower leaves and a flower bud

---

violets in the back clearing

---

an ant walking on an unfurling Bracken Fern

Have you seen a fir, a fern, or a flower today?
