Taken by Trilliums

You know it's spring in Ontario when ...

you see lots of spring flowers in the forest.  Not only were there loads of trilliums - especially white ones and also a few red ones -

but also dog-tooth violets,

marsh marigold,

hepatica (which amazingly enough were in full bloom last weekend and were almost over this weekend),

and wild ginger.

This wasn't just a hike to find spring flowers, but it was also a sketching trip (this one is William's).

Oh and speaking of spring flowers, you should see how the mantel collection has grown (you can see how the mantel started off here).

Have you been out enjoying the spring flowers - in your garden?  Or in the forest? Really there is nothing better after a long cold winter!
