Little Blossoms

 While everyone who lives up the hill in the sunshine are enjoying their spectacular blooming trees, we down here in the valley have to be content with smaller things.

 Some of the green stuff blooms this time of year. It's not obvious. You have to go looking for it.

 I love violets.  Right now the back is carpeted in them.

 Out in the woods those little funny umbrella looking things are popping up everywhere.

Here's one close up. You just know they are an alien species planning on taking over the world. They scare me.

 The ferns are being kind of creepy right now too.

 The hostas make me want to eat asparagus. Pass the hollandaise please.

 These are pretty. They are growing on something that looks a lot like marijuana. It's not. If it was we'd be rich. We're not.

Here is traumatized Pup trying to hide under a pillow. While I was out photographing the flora she encountered her first bee of the season. It wasn't pretty. It's going to be a long summer.
