Easter Sunday at the River

Sunday afternoon after our Easter festivites my husband and I went down to the cabin on the river to get it ready for some high water. I took several pictures. This one is on the way down there....really doesn't do the dogwoods justice, they have been just amazing this year.

Another shot heading down the road.



Still going down the road, as you can see are just loaded with blooms this year.







I think this is some sort of wild phlox? Several clumps of this are growing at the base of the stairs to the cabin.







Moved some items underneath the cabin and uncovered these cute little salamanders. I sure hope they found another safe place to go.


























Wild mustard?















Mayapple bloom....also called umbrella plants


















The neighbor's stairs....starting to float yet again. I imagine they are floating alot higher now, as the river has come up alot since we were out there yesterday.



















Dogwood tree up by the green cabin.














































Wild Geraniums growing in front of the green cabin. There are literally thousands of these plants scattered about.


























More wild geraniums



























































Close-up of the geraniums































Pretty yellow flowers...don't know the name...........






























hmm....Robin's something maybe?




































Old vines twisting around on a big tree........





































wow.....may have overdone things with the dogwoods.....






































Showing the buckeye tree blooming..... apparently I should have either zoomed in or gotten out of the truck! ha!










































On the road leaving...getting ready to go up the hill










































So pretty....












































Back home now....a sample of another wildflower my Mom and I got off a vacant lot up town...has spread to lots of different areas down here at our house....




Hope you enjoyed the Easter tour of our trip to the river!
