Nice...I was at Flat Mountain Pond Last night...thanks for the aerial view!

In the middle of winter, I normally think nothing of getting up before 5AM to get to a location by the post 7AM sunrises. Summer is much different. Sunrises are now only a bit after 5AM, with good light starting during the 4AM hour. A two to three hour driving or hiking window equates to a...

Many of the meadow flowers are starting to bloom in SoNH...including daisies, trefoil, and LUPINES! I also found some blue-eyed grass the other day... Won't be long now before we get fields of daisies, fields of lupines, and fields of irises! Can't wait. Also...now is the time to begin...

Wow...you got some great shots there! Love the polygala you shot...the water really adds to it. I shot some this morning myself in Pawtuckaway. Starting to fade...but this one was nice! Also seen...lily of the valley, solomon seal, star flower, canada mayflower, lady slipper, strawberry...

NH Endangered Flower...cultivated at a local nature center... Haven't found it in the wild yet...any tips through PM appreciated!

I've been away from New England for a bit, and am amazed at how fast spring has come in to southern NH and Maine. Yesterday, I went and found some Fringed Polygala in Bedford, NH on the way to the Ponemah bog. Also in bloom yesterday were lady slippers, bluets, a few lingering oats and plenty...

Correct on the squirrel Corn!

Thanks john! And while I do love the shots...I prefer that thread to be about chronology of sitings and location than artistry. Its a great resource to go back through them through the years. Please post often..even if you don't have pics, especially for new blooms and passings!

Wow...what a nice hike...and the wildflowers are amazing. What a fertile area. Would you mind adding them to the wildflower thread...we haven't had many posts from in the whites, and this seems early for this area...good doccumentation!

Great shots from yesterday! Mystery plant = false hellebore, or indian poke. Marsh Marigolds = correct! I still have to get to that swamp...maybe this week! Thanks for the pics!

Wow...trout lillies already! Fantastic...love the closeup! I went back with Kevin to the trillium spot I found yesterday...I've never seen so many trillium in such a photogenic spot! Hope to go back and get it in some misty weather Friday!

Love these hepatica shots everyone is getting. The purple trillium are in full bloom down here in SONH, and I have to return to this streambank tomorrow when I have more time and better light!!! On the otherhand...I really like this macro shot!

Nice shots so far this year. Things have been VERY early. For example...I stopped by Adams Point on Saturday, and found the Hepatica there in full bloom. The shot that I have of it was taken there on May 5th in 2006. That's a huge swing. Grouseking...I believe you have some sort of Phlox...

Kevin and I just trekked around Pawtuckaway and the Lamprey River Watershed in the rain. We found some arbutus, and a nice patch of bloodroot in bloom! I also saw spring beauty on the banks of the Lamprey yesterday.

Clay...those shots are gorgeous! So things are progressing VERY early this year. I was driving a dirt road in Nottingham this evening and had to slam on my brakes a couple times...Marsh marigolds...not that early, in full bloom...but the suprise...purple trillium...many in full bloom. A day...

I love that range, and it sounds like you had a nice experience with it. It's just a nice isolated feeling there, surrounded by the beauty, but commotion of lake george. April does sound like a nice time...out of season. One thing that came to mind when hearing about the frog...them rattlers...

Most of my hikes either start or finish in the dark. I have really grown to enjoy the experience of taking in a sunrise or sunset from the mountains...and the only way to do that is to hike at night. That being said...I less enjoy hiking at night ALONE...but that's a whole nother can of worms...

Colt's foot is very common, shouldn't be too hard. I found some early last year in the wet areas on the side of the road between N.C and the entrance to hurricane mountain road. Hepatica...that's a bit tougher...not common as far as location, but abundant where it grows. I've had poor luck...

Great shots John, Can I ask where abouts you are located...just curious how far north the periwinkle made it so far...

Washington set two record highs in a row...but it's the margin that's truly impressive. Yesterday's record high of 56 replaced a record high of 42! That's crushing a record by 14 degrees! http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/f6/2010/04.pdf
