Total Trillium Time

If you go down in the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise

We did not go down to the woods yesterday, but we did go up — up to the St James Woods on the northern fringes of town.

As for the surprise in the rhyme, well, we saw hundreds and hundreds of trilliums, our provincial flower. I was told that I would see some trillium flowers, but I've only previously seen them in small patches by the roadsides and not the plethora that greeted my eyes.

This (below) was one part of a large area, and there was more than one large area. It was rather wonderful. The picture doesn't do it justice, but one does what what can.

After gazing at the flowering fields, it was time for the old man to assume the position. While trilliums are not as low to the ground as the crocuses were a few weeks ago, they are still lowdown little things..

The surroundings are leafy and twiggy, but one does what one can. I hope you like the resulting photos. 

I really appreciated that glorious sighting of little white flower everywhere.
