The Hepatica are also just starting to bloom in Forestville. Notice that both the Hepatica and the Pasque Flower are fuzzy, an adaption that retains heat overnight.

Hiked up Barn Bluff in Redwing today. Over 250 stair steps and 300+ feet upward to get photos of the 3 inch tall Pasque flower in bloom. Found a few, as their run is just starting. Well worth the effort.

For years we have kept track of events such as the arrival of the first Hummingbird or the blooming of the first Marsh Marigold. We have now begun to photograph these events and felt others may be interested in what we run into in our "nature wanderings".
