I have seen scores of Springs, yet every one that comes around never fails to delight and amaze. I love that about Spring.
Today afforded one of those very special Spring moments. I was walking the dog in a field when I very nearly stepped on something I'd never seen before -- a Trout Lily. It hugs the ground, standing only about 3 inches high with a flower only an inch or so across. Delicate yellow, perfectly formed nested in speckled leaves that put one in mind of trout. The flowers stand, each in isolation, one flower per plant, almost defying the world to ignore them.
Today, I could not.
