Don't be afraid to get your knees and elbows a little dirty (no one's watching), most of these pretties are nestled low in the leaf litter and you'll want to get close for a good peek.
Who's performing in your neck of the woods?
These photos are amazing! Did you really take all of them right near your house? Which means right near my house! I need to stop correcting papers and get out there.
ReplyDeleteI did, these little beauties are alongside the trail up to the ledges. You would have laughed had you seen me wallowing on the forest floor. I had great fun, glad no one was watching. Go now!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed our first harvest of fiddle heads last night! How's your stash??
