Wildflowers

The girls and I fetched the SD cards from the trail cameras yesterday - plenty of turkey and whitetails on the move along with an occasional raccoon or coyote.  It is a busy joint around these parts.  Notable was the appearance of fawns.  No surprise there and as a consequence I'll post a couple of clearly-composed photos as they become available.

This pretty ground cover caught my eye - growing all over the place just north of the main creek crossing.  Canada Anemone - Anemone Canadensis - which also happens to be a member of the buttercup family and colloquially known as the Canada Windflower or Meadow Anemone.

This wildflower is found throughout the world with more than a couple dozen varieties in North America.  It propagates be means of an underground rhizome and prefers wet meadows and prairies.

Funny I haven't paid closer notice to this pretty plant - as it is quite showy.
