Woodland Spring is the story of spring-blooming woodland wildflowers of the eastern US. It will include photographs and descriptions, closeups and landscapes. It will tell the "story of spring" in the forests from Iowa to New Jersey and Michigan to North Carolina and Tennesse. And from time to time, I will include photos that are completely different, just for the fun of it.
This isn't exactly a photogenic photo, but it shows the landscape where the skunk cabbages thrive. See below for more info about skunk cabbages. It's a wet boggy area where the ground is composed of MUD. I did not step in this area for fear of damaging the plants and making an absolute mess.

I love to do nature photography, especially wildflowers, especially during the spring. But anytime of year is ok with me, as long there aren't too many mosquitoes.

It looks like another planet.
Yes it's like a planet with spikey domes or something... It is a really neat place but so fragile. If I had tried to step in the area shown, my feet would have sunk into the mud. So I kept my distance and went further down stream to where the soil is more sandy and I could get closer to the plants without wrecking them.
wow i have never seen anyting like that. so pretty
Thanks. I have a set of photos and some comments about skunk cabbage on this other website that I have made. http://www.carolwolfe.org/spring1.html
I need to update the site but have been busy for most of the past year. Skunk cabbage is really neat!
