Spring ephemerals and tadpoles...

These pictures were taken during a recent walk near my home...a little swampy at this time of year...



Spring ephemerals are blooming...I think this may be a false rue anemone...



...they grow in clusters...



The beech trees have finally dropped last years leaves....


...and this year's leaves are starting to unfurl...


The skunk cabbage is bright green and completely open...

Ferns in their fiddlehead stage...


...are starting to unfurl...

...And the vernal pools are full of polliwogs...
