A Trillium for May Day
Craig and I went for a walk in the woods last week on Earth Day and came across the first trilliums of Spring. I offer this photo today, for May Day. Trilliums are somewhat rare, delicate and evanescent so it is always a thrill to come across them in the woods.
We were up a bit late last night celebrating May Eve (amaretto! yum!) and this morning dawned overcast and cool. I missed washing my face in dew — raindrops had to do.
Here's a few posts of mine from May Days past:
2004: The First of May
2005: May Morning
2006: Songs for Beltane
2007: A Blessed Beltane
May is here! Blessed be!
A Joyous and blessed Beltane to you!

Thank you for the wonderful picture of of the trillium. I know how special they are and it's been years since I've seen one in the flesh. Your photo brings it all back to me.

So glad you like it, Mary. Trilliums are so special. The magic of three times three, times three again.
