This year's challenge

They might be. I find most species that survive down here, are ok up there...it's not that far temperature and weather-wise. Once you see them and get your eyes used to looking for them, they seem to pop out all over. I'm going to try a third preserve tomorrow...weather permitting.

Cool shots. Never seen those before and have to say they look real interesting.

Thanks so much. They're very stealthy and a lot of people never see them, but I remain fascinated by them and shot some today. I'm still processing, but I got one step closer to putting this mini-project together. I have a couple more shots in my head, but so far, so good.

Awesome series WD. We have these everywhere around here. Haven't actually been looking for them, but seemed everywhere we stopped while on our bush ride the other day, there they were. They sure love the acidic soil in the ehade of thick pines around these parts.
As for Bloodroot, I feel for ya', but our last bush, you could not walk, literally 30 ft., without crushing mats of them underfoot.

I was beyond excited to find these in the woods behind my house:

I need to go back and get better shots but wanted to share anyway

reason #19 to hate HBG. ; )
if I get this job I'm interviewing for tomorrow, I'm crashing your pad next summer!

really digging this series WD - I really like the one in post 13.

thanks M. I'm actually going to use a couple to illustrate an article I'm doing for the blog. I know I owe you a new one. ; )
