Spring Greens and Blooms

 Happened upon this scene in my travels. It struck my fancy. Love the old shed.  The tree came down in a storm. Good to see the tree stump putting out new growth.

                                         In the woods, the Bloodroot and the ferns are coming along. 

                              Another month and the ferns will be waist high or higher. Love them!

                        

                         A few Trout Lilies. Not a huge crop of spring blooms this year because they cut                  down quite a few trees and mangled undergrowth. 

                         But if I lose the plot and pick a Trillium, I could be fined $500.

                                          A trillium takes five years to mature.

                       

                           

                         Meanwhile in the Mall parking lot, more silly geese are a laying. As you can see the                                      gander stays near. Looks like the city has quit putting barricades around the                                                     female, likely because it stresses the gander.  

                  Always amazes me that these geese are a long way from water and food is not exactly handy                        either. How do they get the chicks to water? The city workers must gather them up for a                                                                          ride to the river.                                                                                 

                               Walking along the waterfront, I didn't see the Cormorants in the shadows                                                                      until they took off.  Scared them and me.
