Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) and Golden Groundsel (Packera obovata) bloom in a rich hardwood forest at the edge of the Pineywoods in Anderson County, Texas.
I think that spring is my favorite season in Texas. Don't hold me to that, however, as it is likely to change when I'm swimming in a cold springfed stream in July, or during November in an autumn when the leaves' color change is particularly pronounced, or on a rainy December evening when the spotted salamanders are moving toward their breeding ponds.
For now, however, spring is on my mind, and thoughts of migrating birds and the endless array of spectacular wildflowers blooming across the state consume most of my waking moments. There is just something about a walk through the woods here in March or April, on a still overcast day. Such was the day when I captured this image. Black-and-white Warblers returning from their winter sojourns were singing in force, with the occasional Northern Parula, Yellow-throated Warbler, and Louisiana Waterthrush thrown in. The trout lilies had already bloomed and the leaves were beginning to fade. The Solomon's seal had just broken out of the earth, and would not bloom for another month or so. But the umbrella like leaves and pillowy white flowers of mayapple were at their peak. These are the days that I wish would go on forever. More to come...
