Springtime Flowers

Another advantage to my morning walk is the quantity and variety of wild flowers in bloom that I get to see. And the nicest thing is that all of these flowers are on our property, down near our stream. The trillium pictured above is an especially happy discovery; there are plenty of them here!
There is a single marsh marigold blooming quite contentedly at the side of the water. From afar I thought it was simply a dandelion, but I was surprised to see this scene below. Our old residence was mostly very dry woods and we had a whole different sampling of wild flowers.
Another flower in abundance are the anemones. They're very delicate and there are handsome colonies of them, again on the "almost island" that is across the stream.
