It’s the time of the year to head out to find a springtime favorite, trillium. So, on this snowy April morning in Michigan I ventured out. This is what I found.
Unexpected delight. Today’s gift.

Trillium (5) – A Different Perspective
Since the trillium are taking their sweet time coming into full bloom, I decided that my search-for-trillium walk this morning needed a different perspective. Rather than miss seeing the forest because of the flowers at my feet. I looked at the forest itself. The following photos reflect that.
A different perspective. Today’s gift.
Trillium (4) – Silly
It’s raining today. Of course, pictures of trillium would be interesting with droplets of rain water on them. Especially if the flowers are open. No guarantees there, though. It would be a 30 minute walk to the trillium patch, in the rain that is with us for the day. So, it would be silly to make the attempt. Right? I’d be soaked. My camera would get too wet. I should just wait. Hmmm….
So I did. I stayed close to home. I got a little wet. The trillium would have to wait.
Rain. Today’s gift.
Trillium (3) – Anticipation
My hunt for those blooming trillium has been going on for a week. I’m confident that the day will come and I’ll be able to enjoy them in full flower.
In the meantime, here’s what I found on my walk today.
Anticipation (as hard as it is for me to wait) is still today’s gift.
