Bloodroot

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 7 April 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

An early spring wildflower of the northeast USA. Grows in the woods and blooms before the leaves come out on the trees. It has an easily identifiable leaf, which isn't shown on this photo.

Last Thursday I visited a fabulous little wildflower preserve in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, called Ferncliff. Early wildflowers were blooming, and this is one of them. Our dog led the way. My husband kindly carried my tripod. When I stopped to take photos (which was often), dog and husband sat down to wait, dog sniffing new smells and husband happily reading. A perfect outing.

THANK YOU for all the fabulous COMMENTS on my recent posts! You keep me going!!

And, THANK YOU FOR VISITING.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.
