30 Days and Counting!
Been watching my calendar closely lately … it won’t be long until Missouri’s spring woodland wildflowers are blooming! In fact, 30 days from today is when I began photographing the woodland wildflowers last year. Today’s image was captured during my 2015 pre-workshop scouting trips. This Bluebell wildflower with buds showing is making me anxious to […]
Those Bloomin’ Bells
Each time I wander the nearby woodlands, I find more and more progress with wildflower blooms. Yesterday, the Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) were beginning to bloom in large groups: And with the many blooms, I noticed a large increase of pollinators to the wildflowers, particularly to the Bluebells.

It’s Time … Almost!
Driving home from church yesterday, I noticed a few Bluebell wildflowers (Mertensia virginica) nearly ready to bloom. Although they are already “late” in blooming, I was surprised to see buds on some of the plants, particularly with our recent cold weather. Thinking of these beauties, I’ve pulled together some of my favorite Bluebell images from […]
