". Arranged Words: The Road Taken

The Road Taken

Onward...
I was without my wellies, but I managed to pick my way around several mud holes. (Just call me intrepid.)  I am still scraping mud off my dress boots! Yes, folks I really was wearing dress boots.
Bloodroot ~ so pretty.
Trout lily heads generally point towards the earth, so I turned a few heads for the camera.


As you can see, I went back to the woods for pictures of the trout lily, and, boy, are they blooming now!  I have lived in Ontario for approx. 16 years, so it's amazing to me that I missed these prolific lilies, but, then, every area has different wildflowers.  And in the spring, I generally walk through the marshlands, so, unfortunately, I missed these beauties until now.


The other day, I bought  Claybord, so I may paint a trout lily on it. A smoother surface I've never seen. It's also acid free.  If you don't like what you've painted, apparently, you can even wash it off! Talk about versatility. It's made by Ampersand.



Thanks for reading...Enjoy...

Spring wildflowers are so special. And it's always fun finding something new. Happy hunting.

OK Dix, I'll call you intrepid! Thankfully too, since you blessed us with the pictures of these beautiful wildflowers.

Love, Joannie

I wasn't about to turn back, especially when I arrived at that impossible spot where you know what you've crossed, but your unsure of what's lies ahead.
Joanie. Thanks!
