4-17 Ephemerals

4-17
Dutchman's Breeches, Blue Cohosh and Wild Ginger are among the spring ephemerals in flower today.
Spicebush tinted pond margins and damp thickets buttery yellow.
The twisty little red flowers of Beaked Hazelnut dotted dry thickets.
Painted Turtles basked on a mat of cattails.
And a Turkey Vulture that was making a meal of winter-killed Barred Owl took exception to my intrusion but lingered nearby while I took its picture.
