Spring’s First Blush

After an unseasonably cold spring, we were finally blessed with a sunny afternoon – it was Easter Sunday.  We were ready to get outside and took a long walk through a wooded area.

Along the way we stumbled upon a few fresh flowers.  These are the very first blooms of the season.

Just a few days ago, the area where we found these spring beauties was under a blanket of snow (nine inches) from a late winter storm.
