Today, mostly highlighting another vernal herald, the briefly appearing but lovely Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum), blooming this week in Erie County, Pennsylvania. Plus a few “spring foliage backlit by setting sun” shots.
Finally, ‘squirrel in flight’ along the Pine Tree Trail at Presque Isle State Park, probably juvenile Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger):
Very high up + moving very quickly, so lucky to get even this not-quite-correctly-centered shot.
