Yesterday we hiked in the woods, looking for some mushrooms and no, we didn’t find any but the woods we’re covered with trilliums. So pretty.
When people think of Provence and the South of France, they tend to think of sunshine, olive groves, and lavender fields. Although we do get a lot of sunshine, Provence is not always like that. To set the record straight, here is a picture - taken in mid-March - of a hail-stone (grêle) storm.
The spring sun shines through the canopy of a copper beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea').

This Great Egret, my first sighting of the season, was hanging out high in this tree for more than two hours on a recent day. It moved about and turned its head slightly from time to time, but never moved from this spot while I was in the area.
This Egret is in breeding plumage, when the lore (or area behind the bill) turns green, and the bird develops long showy plumes, known as aigrettes, on its back side. The aigrettes are somewhat visible here.
Hold onto your hat...do the high five...jump for joy...Springtime is here !!!!
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and fabulous spring day !!!!
I found this beauty near the upper trail head to Twin Falls at a Secret Santa trail to Mount Washington just off the Iron Horse Trail. It is so large and wild with water going in all directions that I wasn't able to get the whole scene. It is really something to see if you can figure out where it's at. No idea if it's named or not, I think not.
As always, blow it up and take a look around, lot's going on in there. :-)
Plants within genus Magnolia produce some of the most stunning floral displays on the planet. Elegant, graceful, so very beautiful.
I came across this breathtaking small tree on a neighbourhood walk last spring and stood enjoying its beauty for a long while. It truly was enchanting.
Named for the French botanist Pierre Magnol (1638-1715). Fossils from the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago) have been discovered - so these plants are considered some of the first flowering plants on Earth.
