Woodland Delights

Leaf Popping
Patiently wait the wintering trees,
Then buds burst open, leaves unfurl:
Joyful extensions of delicate green,
Hope-filled reminders of Spring's new life.

It was a lovely day for a walk in the woods.  Two yellow Trout Lilies (or Dog-Toothed Violets) posed nicely by a fallen log, and the deep burgundy of Purple Trillium was a happy find.  I love the new leaf-green on tree branches, to which this fungus on a rotting tree is quite a contrast.  Being downhill from the back-lit ferns made a shining set-up.  I think when I grow up I want to be a photographer.
