Early Spring Along The Indian Mound Trail

The Indian Mound Trail runs from Elmwood Avenue to White Avenue in Northeast KC... it's part of the Cliff Drive Scenic Byway. The Trail is in red, animal paths in green and springs/creeks are in blue. It's 1.2 miles one way.
The early spring flowers are beautiful but brief...

Spring Along the Trail

An image for Donna, (Just Me)

Don't know the identity of this little plant.

Or this one either.

Redbuds and Bush Honeysuckle at Scarritt Point.

My Japanese Maple in full leaf now. Yes, it is my favorite tree.

Dicentra cucullaria or more commonly known as Dutchman's Breeches

New spores on trail moss.

May Apples. These grow to about 14 inches tall and have a single, large white flower from which the apple forms.

Renewal

Yard plants are in full bud/bloom.... more coming soon. Leaves are Japanese Maples, some violets and a bush with white flowers that I can't identify. Taken with a macro lens with extension tube.
