Nodding Trillium

Each day it gets closer to warmer weather. The Trout Lilies, Bloodroot, and Spring Beauties are peeking up through the ground. The Nodding Trillium is one flower I am going to seek out again this spring. It really gave me a tough time trying to get a good shot. The flower hangs under the leaves and is hard to get a clear shot. So, I am going to try a different approach to shooting this not so common flower.

Waiting for the forests to green up and wildflowers to start. In the meantime I have been shooting some other subjects. I had a huge dead oak tree cut down last fall and left the stump. Some of the bark fell of this winter and exposed the wood of the tree. Insects left there marks and the cracks turned into a great subject to shoot. There is so much to shoot in your back yard and garden when you get down low and look. I have had many strange looks from my neighbors as I'm laying on the lawn and crawling around the yard.
