Picture of the Day for April 18, 2020

The snow was melting in the woods, but still no bloodroots poking up yet. Although there were some green leaves mottled with brown color of the yellow trout lily up, no blossom stems up nor any flowers yet. The leaves mottled coloring resemble the coloring of brook trout, giving the trout lily its name and when eventually they bloom, the yellow is added to its name.
