Picture of the Day for April 30, 2016

A cloudy morning is keeping the blue sky hidden but there is some blue and with pink tones in the Virginia Bluebells which are currently blooming in the woods giving nectar to the butterflies. The blossoms start out in pink but when it matures and ready for pollination, it increases its alkalinity to change the red pigmentation into blue pigmentation, a color that is much more attractive to pollinators.
