I'm finding flowering quince (like these buds from this past Saturday) is easier to ID this yr compared to the last few despite the fact that there are few flowers so far.

There's nothing quite like that shade of reddish-peach.

Photograph of a cluster of flowering quince bush (per ID app) buds attached to brown branches with out of focus branches and indistinct greens in the background. The buds have just started to open so the protective sepals have burst to reveal the tops of the still closed peach-red petals.

Photograph of a pair of crocuses sprouting amid last year's brown fallen leaves. This crocus variety has yellow, teardrop-shaped, overlapping petals. The petals are curved, conical in shape similar to a tulip but with a soft pointed end and have yellow-orange stamens and a yellow-orange pistil. Crocuses have grass-like foliage often with thin white stripes down the center of each blade.

Here's another shot of that lovely liverwort from yesterday (previous post). I took this with my 200-500mm wildlife lens. Gonna try to get back to #ClearCreekTrail with the macro lens so I can get closer/better detail.

Photograph of three liverwort plant (Anemone hepatica) blooms atop long stems that emerge from the detritus next to a tree trunk that is covered in patches of green moss. The species has brown-purple, lobed leaves that, in this case, are nit visible. Its flowers top long, purple, hairy stems and are composed of purple-green sepals that support six pale purple to white petals that radiate from a center with white stamens and anthers and a green pistil.

Popping in from hiatus to post this beauty. This is liverwort (Anemone hepatica) & it's one of my absolute favorites. I look for it in early #spring on #ClearCreekTrail. Usually find 1-2 plants but this yr found a whole patch.

Photograph of a liverwort plant (Anemone hepatica) with seven open or partially opened blooms atop long stems emerging from amid last year's fallen leaves. The species has brown-purple, lobed leaves that, in this case, are covered by fallen leaves. Its flowers top long, purple, hairy stems and are composed of purple-green sepals that support six pale purple to white petals that radiate from a center with white stamens and anthers and a green pistil.

In from hiatus just to post this pic of a native plant called prairie smoke (Geum triflorum) that just started producing blooms in my garden. B4 opening the flower turns upright. When one opens I'll post a pic.

Closeup photograph if a prairie smoke (Geum triflorum) flower bud amid fern-like green foliage. Prairie smoke produces pink-maroon, bell-shaped buds that hang down from pink-maroon stems. At this stage, the pink-maroon sepals completely enclose the flower's interior.

"I'll have one with just a smidge of purple here and there."

Photograph of a purple and white crocus sprouting amid last year's brown fallen leaves. This crocus variety has white and pale purple, teardrop-shaped, overlapping petals. This particular crocus has mostly white petals with pale purple smudges. The petals are curved, conical in shape similar to a tulip but with a soft, pointed end and have yellow-orange stamens and a yellow-orange pistil. Crocuses have grass-like foliage with thin white stripes down the center of each blade.

There's something reassuring about seeing crocuses bursting forth from between fallen leaves. It makes me feel good. I always like to lie down in the leaves next to them when I take photographs and experience that renewal on a more intimate scale .

Favorite photo from Chicago a few yrs ago. Had recently purchased a Nikon 40mm macro lens which is also an excellent street lens. This trip I decided to restrict myself to the the 40mm only. It was a great challenge and I learned a lot.

Closeup photograph of a western honeybee hanging from a purple flower attached to a long stiff but drooping stem with out of focus purples, blues, and greens in the background. I was not able to ID the flower but based on its shaped it's likely in the Ranunculus family. The flowers are at the end of stalks that droop under the flower's weight. Each flower has five light purple pointed petals that radiate from a center filled with white stamens with yellow anthers.

The joy of photography is having infinite subjects. The tragedy of photography is not having enough time to photograph them all. This is from two yrs ago. Definitely need make some time to look for more jumping spider's in my garden this year.
