We have been having incredibly warm weather this past week. I worry about animals and plants being tricked into coming out of dormancy too soon. I was able to make a quick trip up into the foothills this past week and was surprised to see several species of butterfly already flying around. I don't know what species these butterflies are but they were very pretty and amazingly leaf-like. The second one was especially pretty and I don't remember seeing that type before. So any Id help is appreciated. These were found in Morgan County, Utah
Sweet violet - Viola odorata one of the wild flowers that management of Witcombe Valley is encouraging to return, it grows in woodland edges and I found an east facing bank covered in these flowers under trees in the park.
So many signs of spring during Sunday’s outings: the return of great blue herons to their local rookery, the territorial calls of male red-winged blackbirds, more cool (i.e. not mallards!) migrating quackers moving through, and this splendid emergence of color! Skunk cabbage is the first plant to bloom in Minnesota and can be spotted as early as late February. It generates its own heat, melting the surrounding snow. The red spathe seen here will open to reveal a yellow bloom whose stink attracts flies for pollination.
You don't see a 140-year-old camellia everyday, this Camellia Japonica at the National Arboretum has been in training since 1876

Spring is coming this Canola plant captured in a Dorset field emphasising the height of this one growing up faster than the others near by, also placement of the main canola plant in the centre was deliberate...
Using my older Sony and the long telephoto for this one.
Flickr having fun with this one as it would not display the right way up hopefully now corrected!!
There is also an insect if yo can spot it walking along the stem of the main Canola plant!!!
Country folk in the West Country have noticed that the flowering of the blackthorns in the early Spring, often coincides with a return to colder weather, hence the adopting of the name, “blackthorn Winter”.
Extender weekend is here, and it is raining cats and dogs the whole weekend. So, digging through the archive. Here, Slavetić village and one of its landmarks - the church of St. Anthony the Hermit. The church dates from 1600, was enlarged in 1665, and in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is single-nave, with two chapels on the north and one on the south, and in the side chapel of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the tomb of the Oršić family, owners of the Slavetić estate.
