The Dells were full of birdsong today too, just such a wonderful sound. I was excited to see a roe deer running alongside the path, but then saddened when I realised it was being chased by a dog.
So lovely! Everything looks so fresh.
ReplyDeletejust beauty all around!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things to love about Spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos. I don't think I have ever encountered Wood Avens before ... an intriguing plant! We saw our first Damsel and Dragons of the season yesterday when the sun came out. Back to cool grey cloud today, but we had great weather over the w/e.
ReplyDeleteso pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteSplendid. The final photo is a beauty of leaf and flower in the same blossom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You're definitely a couple of weeks ahead of us.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blooms. My hubby will leave the buttercups around our yard, he likes the color. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteApril showers, they bring the flowers, that bloom in May!
ReplyDeleteThe water avens are especially lovely. I've never seen anything quite like them. :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I can smell them!
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful -- I love meadow wildflowers. And the wych elm tree blossom" is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI love the water avens, had not heard of them before now!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos.
ReplyDeleteDo you know of any good online resources where one can learn the names of plants and flowers? I know a bunch, but would like to be able to identify more (your layout with photos and labeled text reminded me of this). Or, beyond online material, good books of the sort?
AAAAH! Beautiful!! Look at all those lovely blooms, and all that green.
ReplyDeleteHkatz - I know plenty of resources for the UK, but not for the US unfortunately
