The Crowning of Spring



Spring doesnt officially arrive here in Maine until the ladyslippers and trillium are in bloom. I am blessed enough to have many of these on our half-acre. Bandit and I have been walking the property, taking photos and ducking black flies.
Oh yes, officially spring means you cant be outside without being consumed by nasty little bugs. Layers and bug nets are all that can protect you and they still find skin and dig in. Of course its really comfortable outdoors with several layers on and a hood and a bug net (NOT). Whew, it makes work out of just going outdoors.

Thank you for the Maine pictures-as a child growing up in Piscataquis County I so loved springtime.
