Subtle spring beauty
Creator’s task accomplished
Petals raised in praise
Spring’s resurrection
Petals piercing forest decay
Creation’s wonder
Petals white as snow
Unfolded, airy, praising
Reawakening
“… the morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise. This is my father’s world.” -Maltbie D. Babcock
Trillium. Today’s gift.
I ventured out to the trillium patch this morning. Sad to say, while the buds were abundant, the flowers were not.
However, this is some of what I found along the way. Today’s gift.
My great idea this morning was to hunt for trillium, a flowering springtime favorite in these parts. So, I set off, camera in hand, to a trail just a bit north and not far too from here. Here’s what I found.
Not too promising of a start… at first glance. I kept looking.
Not trillium, but look what one can find if paying attention.
Still no trillium. These flowers are still closed up for now. Maybe I was too early.
Nope. Not trillium
Keep looking…
At last! Trillium! However, it looks like I’ll have to go back in a few days to enjoy a fully flowering feast.
Today’s walk with my camera once again provided unexpected delight. Today’s gift.
