Really love the two on the edge shots of the  bellwort (?). They have such 
a nice simplicity to them and are also unusual  views.

Thanks, Christine. I did use a diffuse when the sun was shining 
directly. The K-01's focus peaking is indeed very useful for closeups - 
plus it is a lot easier to compose with the LCD when the camera is just 
a few inches off the ground. I came home much less muddy than in past years.

 I took a day off today and went down to the Dowagiac Woods in Cass
 County, MI, to see if the wildflowers were out. Usually there is nothing
 but harbinger of spring at this time of year, but I found a few sprigs
 of hepatica, much earlier than usual.

 So here is a handful of very early woodland wildflowers:

http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php


those are interesting flowers that i don't see in Colorado (and that i 
don't recall from childhood in Maine or Kansas); while the context is 
part of what makes these interesting, the simplicity and nice bokeh is 
attractive, and it makes me want to traipse down to some wetlands 
along the South Platte River to see what's up


here in urban Denver (in the non-wild, my yard) i saw gazania and 
mallow in flower on 2 Jan, then we had the snowiest February on 
record, and now everything's a-burstin', bulbs especially, but all the 
shrubs are budding, phlox  violets  vinca are showing color, and 
townsendia are open, though the petals aren't fully developed; cats 
have found the first green on the catnip as well



Thanks, Steve. These are woodland wildflowers. They are found in wooded 
areas and bloom in the period of early spring when the soil has warmed 
but the trees are still leafless and direct sun hits the ground. In 
MIchigan you don't see them much in re-forested areas that were once 
farmed, but they are really abundant in areas that were never plowed up. 
The range map I looked at shows hepatica only in the eastern US.


Thanks for looking!

I took a day off today and went down to the Dowagiac Woods in Cass 
County, MI, to see if the wildflowers were out. Usually there is nothing 
but harbinger of spring at this time of year, but I found a few sprigs 
of hepatica, much earlier than usual.

So here is a handful of very early woodland wildflowers:

or

I also shot a roll of Ilford SFX 120 in a Holga with a deep red filter 
smacked on it - the negs are hanging over my bathtub as I type this, and 
look promising.

All beauties, Mark. Tough to pick one fave from those, but I
especially like the first one.

those are interesting flowers that i don't see in Colorado (and that i don't 
recall from childhood in Maine or Kansas); while the context is part of what 
makes these interesting, the simplicity and nice bokeh is attractive, and it 
makes me want to traipse down to some wetlands along the South Platte River to 
see what's up


here in urban Denver (in the non-wild, my yard) i saw gazania and mallow in 
flower on 2 Jan, then we had the snowiest February on record, and now 
everything's a-burstin', bulbs especially, but all the shrubs are budding, 
phlox  violets  vinca are showing color, and townsendia are open, though the 
petals aren't fully developed; cats have found the first green on the catnip as 
well
