Some native bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) popping up from among last year's fallen leaves along .

Started a small shade garden & have planted some maidenhair ferns, Jack-in-the-pulpits, & some spring beauty is coming this week.

Bloodroot is next on my list but probably for next year.

Some of the first spring beauty (Claytonia virginica seems likely) and a passerby on .
(04/12/24)

Photograph of a spring beauty (Claytonia virginica seems likely) flower with an out of focus stem, foliage, and brown leaves in the background. There is a bee (possibly a leafcutter species) flying by and above the flower. Spring beauties are small plants with slender stems. Their flowers have five white petals with bumble-gum pink veining, five white stamens with pink anthers, and a greenish pistil with a pink stigma.

The remaining flower buds are still tightly bound by the two protective sepals. Spring beauties are small plants that have slender stems. Their flowers have five white petals with bumble-gum pink veining, five white stamens with pink anthers, and a greenish pistil with a pink stigma.

Sexy time among the moss along . I noticed one of the capsules looks like a gulper eel (#2 is a closer crop on #1). I'm not very familiar with mosses. Is that what the capsule typically looks like before/after it releases its spores?

Closeup image of moss reproductive stalks extending from the leaf-like moss below it. Each stalk has a long, slender brown stem that ends in an oblong, green capsule which contains the moss spores.

Large fly (ID apps and the intertubes suggest it may be an early tachinid fly) atop a bloodroot flower along .

The first wildflower I've come across on . It's the same species an the one I found first about this time last year, liverwort (Hepatica americana or Anemone hepatica seems likely). I don't know if it has opened yet or not but I'm gonna head back today to take a look.

Closeup photograph of a row of three liverwort flowers (Hepatica americana or Anemone hepatica seems likely). The flower in the center is in focus while the flowers in the foreground and the background are out of focus. The species of Anemone has brown-purple, lobed leaves on long stem. Its flowers top long, purple stems and are composed of purple-green sepals that support six pale, purple-pink petals radiating from a center with stamens and pistil. This plants is likely still in the process of blooming with the petals still mostly closed.

Lot's of robins on the other day. Seems like they are earlier this year but because of the mild winter many likely stayed over too. Tons of females or immature males. I really love to see the eye color in this photo. You have to get the right angle to see that beautiful brown.

Usually do most of my photography during the day but heard there were some spots on where owls hang out. Never had a chance to photograph an owl so headed out before sunset to see what I could find. No owls but I got a chance to explore some low light settings.

Here's a downy woodpecker that flew down next to me to snack on wild grapes in the dim light.

Some native maiden hair fern (ID aps suggest Adiantum pedatum) along .
(10/21/23)

Image of maiden hair fern plants. This species has green leaves and black stipes or stems that fan out around the central plant. The leaves attach directly to the black stems and are oblong with one long straight edge and the other scalloped. The tree floor below is covered with fallen leaves and detritus.

The first I've discovered this year on in , Iowa. My ID app suggests that they are Anemone hepatica, aka liverwort aka kidneywort aka pennywort & I tend to agree. This would be a new species for me. I think they're gorgeous and I may see if I can't add this species to my at some point.
