Bleeding hearts and lilacs are in top form this spring.  These were at Bison Ridge Ranch against an old stone wall right after a rain.

It’s May 15 and May Apples are up and blooming. They are such a humble flower, hiding below their umbrella leaves, happy to be facing the earth, not striving for more glory or any glory at all.

This is a link to a nice Wisconsin wildflower site on the web. May Apples show their apples in fall or late summer. The root is toxic.

A large group of pelicans stayed on Buffalo Lake for a few weeks in April. They probably moved to Puckaway where they now nest in spring. They are grand birds and I saw several V’s in the sky flying low, their great wings, marked in black on the ends, sweeping the sky.
