I worried about the horses, the cattle, most mostly the tiny calves with little protection from a nasty spring storm.
Beautiful flowers here in the Amsterdam forest. The wild Garlic is blooming everywhere on the forest floor. These yellow flowers were perfect as a foreground although difficult to shoot given movement when making a focus stack. In the end when there was no wind for a short moment I succeeded to make this shot. Really happy with it.
Enjoy your Sunday and many thanks for your comments and favs, highly appreciated.

Squill (Scilla siberica) is a spring ephemeral, emerging early and blooming right after the snow melts. It is a hardy plant and cold tolerant, and it has historically been a favorite of gardeners for its striking blue flowers. Unfortunately, squill naturalizes quite easily, spreading quickly by self-seeding and bulb offshoots. Because of its rapid spread and condition tolerance, this non-native species has the potential to become an invasive plant.
"A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them."
- Liberty Hyde Bailey
Happy Easter, my friends..!

On our Sunday drive, Don and I came across this bizarre sight at the end of a dirt road up in the mountains of Rider Hollow. Apparently a weekender planted some saplings in a small fenced area to protect them from deer. Our guess is he must have thought spring was here to stay, put a sprinkler on a timer, then went home to the city perhaps a week or so ago.
Although the early morning temperature yesterday was 11 F, the sprinkler gamely did its job, continuing to spew water onto the rising ice columns.
