Erythronium americanum: Trout Lily

Not a whole lot of things in bloom yet, so when I spotted these flowers along the Baird Traid, I had to take a shot.

I took them from a fairly long distance with my all-in-one lens to try to get a blurry background. This is not conducive to super sharp shots, but I think it still gets a pass.

The bw is simply a conversion of the first colour shot. While one doesn't normally shoot flowers in bw, I don't mind the way it turned out.

It's an exotic flower and I think you did it proud.

True, not much blooming yet. But tomorrow I'm posting a trout lily too. Great minds think alike, right?

That flower does look as though it's blowing its own trumpet in the second photo! :-)
