Wonderful photo John. I am a bit behind, but these are all great. It is so funny that honeysuckle is considered invasive, we buy it in garden stores for our yards here.. Have a great weekend.
I don't think you can ever have too many violets--or violet photos. Is the lupine blooming over there? It's in full force here in Waldo Co: I'm going to try to get some shots up later this week.

I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Wonderful detail John!
Beautiful....I always look at violets in large clumps spread over my yard, and never see the detail you capture with just one blossom.
I look at that gorgeous color, and wonder where "roses are red, violets are blue" came from.
Beautiful picture. Violets are one of my favorite spring flowers.
