We went hiking on Saturday in Jefferson Memorial Forest.  It was a 4.5 mile hike up and down huge ravines, over tiny creeks, and thru singing pines.  The red buds were in full bloom and painted little  patches of color in the woods. We spotted all kinds of wild flowers...trout lilly, spring beauty, anemone, blood root, trillium, tooth wart, may apples, and blue phlox to name a few. The bees sure were happy and pollination was in full force.  Here are some pics.
