The weather could not be much better - it was almost 70 degrees here today - We made our first of many (we hope) trip to Shenk's Ferry today. There are some who will tell you it is too early for such a visit; but it was not a waste of time. The warm sun and fresh air were delightful and as we often do we met some lovely people there.

We listed the following wildflowers blooming
Speedwell (several varieties)
Cutleaf tooth wort
VA bluebells
Spring Beauties
Squirrel Corn

The pics I posted were all taken today. 3/18/10

Thanks to Professor Ken Miller for help with IDs - I was lost on the type of speedwell and the open flowers of the tooth wort confused me - I remembered them with a "hanging" flower.
If you ever catch a mistake don't hesitate to point it out - I am an expert on nothing and a student of everything.

Spring has sprung - GET OUT !!!!
