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.
Here is a photo of Bud Ogle's house (in the Smokies) and a dogwood beside it that was blooming during the wildflower pilgrimage of 2009. The close up (below) shows a pair of flowers from a tree that was behind me (and just up the small hill) as I faced the tree and cabin.

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.

I see simple lines, wild nature and BEAUTY. I love this picture.
THANKS! I think it's a nice shot to show the setting. It "feels" like a Smokies shot.
Your pictures are beautiful, you definitely have a great eye!
Elizabeth, THANKS. I work hard to try and FIND a good shot. I do like this one but gee, I had been there so many times and seemed to take forever to find a shot that I really liked! My closeup work is somewhat easier for me because the very nature of the subject imposes a degree of simplicity or isolation. But landscapes are so vast. And yet I have to select just one small section of it. Again thanks for your kind words!
you have a good blog
Noura, Thanks for you kind comment. I do enjoy my blog. I wish I could spend more time keeping it up to date. This has been a busy year (as was last year but for different reasons!).
excelent contrast between nature and human hand, love it
Alex, Thanks for your comment. I normally omit human structures but in a place like the Smokies with so much history, I find it easy to make exceptions expecially for a landscape shot like this one.
