The Virginia Bluebells grow on the Sinks Trail deep in the Monte Sano State Park here in Huntsville Alabama. It’s a good 30 minute hike downhill to the trail but that was my goal today. I passed two sets of hikers coming up the long trail and both said you need to go look at the Bluebells. 
I thanked them and told them that was exactly my plan.
The Virginia Bluebells cover the ground following a dry creek bed in this lovely spot on the trail. I found myself there in quiet solitude among the blooms and the bees. 
I found many other things blooming in and among the bluebells. 
white trillium
rue anemone
star of bethlehem 
phacelia
yellow violets
These violets were growing in the middle of the trail.
They are nowhere else in the park. But they flourish here. Growing and blooming for a quick few weeks and then gone for the year.
I was blessed by spending a quiet hour among them.

You’ve missed your calling. You could sell your pictures to botany book publishers. I passed the qualifying exam for a phD in botany and didn’t see pictures this good.
How tender and peaceful! Thank you for taking me to those Appalachian woods, where I was fortunate enough to wander last spring.
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed my photos. Katey
Your photos are lovely. Thank you for taking me on a little walk through the woods.
Thank you! I could write and photograph everyday about the woods. There is always something new to discover. Katey
