11 April 2020:
During the COVID-19 shutdown my daily treat is to go outdoors, watch birds, and take photos of flowers. Here’s a bit of beauty to brighten your Saturday.
Above, blue violets in the grass in Schenley Park. Below, a selection of photos from Raccoon Creek Wildflower Reserve.

Homesick for Raccoon Creek Wildflower Reserve!
Driving through a deep valley coming up off the Monongahela river near New Eagle I saw a number of flowers blooming a few days ago: Trillium grandiflorum, Trillium erectum, bellwort, two types of toothwort, dutchman’s breeches, and probably more that I’m forgetting. Nice to see something cheerful in these times.
