Spring?
On my long walk down to the mailbox and back, I was very surprised to find wildflowers already blooming in the woods. Not only that, but it was so warm, I worked up a sweat. Had to believe it is still February. It was 80°F and headed for a record.
Did my billy goat thing carefully down a steep bank to photo the bloodroot and anemone. On the way back up I came across a couple of bright red fungi growing on a stick which I brought back with me to the house to try to get a better shot (which I did not achieve). The toothwort made things easier. It was on the edge of the driveway.

Thanks for this colorful proof that spring may actually come again after this brutal winter. I like them all but the first two are my favorites. They seem to capture not just the beauty but the ethereal magic as well. Well done.

Beautiful! I particularly like #2 for the contrast with decaying leaves and #3 for the perspective. Great exposure and clarity too.

I'm with Linda on number 2 - a nice study in contrasts.

They are all lovely and I wish they were here, where we currently have 2+ inches of fresh snow down plus "wintry mix," which always sounds like something made from Chex cereal around the holidays only not.

All the great photographers use cameras! No, really.
