The past week warm and sunny, with cooling breezes, crisp blue skies – perfect spring weather. Daffodils in full bloom and fruit tree blossoms starting to open, magnolias just past their peak. A small snake peeking out of the thyme in the garden. At day’s end, the setting sun, bright on the hillside across the way, trees leafing out, like soft pillows, downy spring green. By chance, my walks have all been along southern Vermont rivers and streams, trillium and bloodroot in bloom. my steps in rhythm with the flowing water.

Nice post Elin. Don’t early spring flowers always seem to be the most precious? That trillium is really something! Hope you’re well.

This is a lovely walk. What is the last flower, is it some kind of hellebore?

Hi Katiepede. Thanks for stopping by. The deep red flower in the last picture is a red trillium – a spring woodland flower that grows in this area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_erectum.
Good luck with your new blog – and your summer garden. 🙂
