mostly mine. i am about to do a few flowers. my soft underbelly is exposed!

my wildflower garden has "evolved" over the past few years and i have included a few exotics around it. it provides a natural place that i feel comfortable in.

great shots!! i am hoping to catch some shooting stars to take shots of...we should have some trillium and solomons seal soon..( say that fast three times..!!)

love these shots, very good!
 
thanks to you both!

i suppose the difficulty in photographing shooting stars is because they are arrayed around a central stem. if you get close enough to fill a frame the dof is lost. it also seems that everytime i want to try a shot or two the wind is blowing! lol!

i have toadshade and large flowered(white) trillium both in the yard. they have not broken the surface as yet this far north. i did see toadshade in bloom on the south tip of IL. this past weekend. i also saw one lone wild geranium in bloom along with larkspur, celadine, wild blue phlox and virginia bluebells. spring is marching northwards!

luck!
