So many flowers are in bloom this week out in the fields: the wild mustard (yellow), the garlic mustard (white), the purple violets, the dandelions. And it's so weird to see skunk cabbage and May apples flourishing next to each other; usually the former are shriveling in the heat by the time the latter pop up.
On the way home from the gym I stopped along my road to take a photo -- and I had one of those wonderful breathtaking "a-ha" surprises: there in the woods were two trout lilies (Erythronium americanum), a beautiful yellow flower with a green and brown mottled, orchid-like leaf.
Unfortunately, a few steps beyond was a discarded tire. Yuck.
