I finally took a break from my tax return and headed out to check on the wildflowers at Lost Valley. The dogtooth violets were blooming profusely at the trailhead, and reports were that there wasn't much blooming yet further on down the trail. I did see a few toothwort and hepatica blooms, but the bloodroot has not yet made its appearance.

Good job, Bill. You really captured the translucent quality of the flower petals. I bet the wind gave you fits.

Nice work on this one Bill. I like the combination of rim light and backlight on this bloom. Thanks for sharing!

Great job Bill! The lighting of this shot is powerful.
Thanks for the update. I'm headed there tomorrow hoping for no rain at least for a couple of hours.
