Close up of some growing ferns. A series of shoots rise up through the image, with dark green fern leaves jutting off the stalks.

A white 8-pointed flower fills the image, with three green leaves behind it. Yellow stamens flow in a pattern the shows sympathy to the pointed leaves of the flower.

A trillium flower with subtle red patterning, a triple of leaves supports the display and adds to the symmetry.

Close-up of new white pine shoots. A spray of needles fills the rest of the image always pulling the eye back to the new shoots in the centre.

Got out to #ninemileriver / Wokumeak with @lmcampbell.bsky.social. Lots of people out walking, & a few people working on the trail maintenance (🙏). Lots of spring growth, including a few trilliums. That said, the water levels are low - even though we had a lot of rain over the winter. #photography
