Boardwalk over soft, mucky areas
It has been chilly but a few days have been sunny enough to encourage us into the woods to check out the wild flowers.
Bloodroot blossom
Already the bloodroot in some sunny areas have gone by, but in protected areas it's in full bloom.
Smiling violet
If in a hurry, you'd miss the common blue violets hugging the forest floor, even though they were close to the path.
Cheerful merrybells
But it would be hard to miss these bright yellow bells!

It's nice to get out onto the hiking trails and see the changing seasons.
I love walking in the woods, especially this time of year. I enjoy finding wildflowers and seeing if I can identify them. You have found some pretty ones. I haven't seen or heard of a merry bell, but they sure are beautiful.
Such a wonderful place to walk! You really caught some gorgeous flowers.
You know more wildflowers than anyone!
Gorgeous flowers. I love to go hiking along the trails through the forest. I'll have to check out the ORTA walks listed on their website.
Wonderful time for a walk in the woods!! Have never seen the merrybells...
What a great forest boardwalk. I'd love a walk in those woods.

the little bridge is wonderful
the violet is really pretty
yellow flowers make me happy, blood root is a beautiful photo. the first one is my fav today because the shadows playing on the board walk are just beautiful.
That looks such an inviting walk. Merrybells is a lovely name - we don't have those but there are bluebells in abundance.
i love walking in the woods, it is so refreshing and calming as are your photos.
thanks for sharing; the one with the hiking trail looks heavenly! it totally leads the viewer into the photo.
simply gorgeous!

Oh what beautiful photographs! I would love a walk in the woods. Awesome!
Delicate wildflowers. The three you photographed are so beautiful but so unique and different from one another.
The walk thru the woods & the boardwalk remind me of a similar place nearby, Mingo Wildlife Refuge... beautiful place to see deer & other wildlife & oh so beautiful! =)
Thanks for this post. I don't remember ever seeing bloodroot before, the flower is lovely. But the violet I knew right away--we have both blue and yellow ones here, although I haven't yet seen any. I smiled when I saw it.
And merrybells, what a cheerful name! I am very glad to make its acquaintance!
Love your walk in the woods, and all the flowers!
What a lovely walk! That first photo is gorgeous.
One of my favourite things to do, walking in the woods.
love this. made me think of wisconsin.
Beautiful pictures, I like so much the merrybells picture, it's very artistic with the delicate blur.

Nice photos. Like that bloodroot blossom.
Such a lovely walk through the woods. It's a beautiful time of year with all the flowers in bloom!
What a life you have to be able to be in the woods so easily!
How lovely! I miss the draw of a cool wooded lane!
Lovely!
Beautiful wildflowers!
I'm glad you ventured into the woods to capture these beautiful wildflowers.
Your woodsy shot reminds me of south Florida where we have wooden walks built out over mangrove swamps. They keep your feet dry and make it more difficult for the gators to get you!
Love your wildflowers. I saw some white wildflowers here while playing golf today. I thought of your wildflowers!
Really pretty flOwers! I'm glad spring is finally here. :)
Lovely captures!
Love your captures and the wooden pathway you have in your woods.
What a beautiful place, love these pictures.
It is a fantastic time to be out walking in the woods-
Everything looks so fresh and inviting.. lovely to walk with you! :)
I love this post, sooo beautiful! =) and the beaufiful wood bridge, I feel I want to walk there! :)
What a lovely walk, great shots.
