We spend most of the weekend at our "Extended Garden"/our place in Pennsy. This time I left the telephoto lens on my camera the whole time, since I usually miss something due to the wrong lens. So no pretty vistas this time, just plants and animals, more or less.
We talk our usual walk straight through the woods to check on the various stands of Cypripedium acaule and we were not disappointed, there were quite a few in bud already and a couple of early blooms.
Different types of small Violets, Anemones, Tiarellas are in full gear, Podophyllums are up too. Coltsfoot is now in seed and I always think that Dandelions have to be the most successful flowers on Earth.
It was warm enough to sit comfortably outside and watch the fish ( a good size colony of "Sunnies") jumping and at one point we noticed two pretty Pileated Woodpeckers across the neighbor's trees. The Frogs looked healthy and there was a pretty young Deer.
