Lots of wildflowers popping up these days, some showy and obvious, some tiny and subtle. Here’s a selection from my ride home from work.
Bloodroot:
Red Trillium:
Little White Guys (a.k.a. “weeds:”)
…and marsh marigolds:
Enjoy!

Got to Hawley Bog by mid-morning, in time to feed the black flies. Yes, it’s May here too, and May means Mayflies, blackflies, les mouche noires. Voracious little bastards who will find a way through any discontinuity in your clothing to exact their pound of flesh (well, ok, a “pound” is exaggerating a bit, but they take a piece away and leave a bloody hole, so I’m not fond of them.)
But I got down on my belly and I took some pictures anyway:
I don’t know what kind of plant this is, but it was valiantly attempting to erect a solar collector above the saturated plane of the sphagnum moss, and Little Plant, I Salute You!
Then off to deliver Ultimate Spawn to her Mom’s house for a couple days, with a return trip through pastoral Shelburne. Here’s a view of a mowing field with violets erupting in a sea of dandelions:
…and along the way, a patch of Marsh Marigolds in a wetland, with a guest thinning out the pollen:
It was a beautiful day despite the bugs.
