Friday Photos - Hepatica and Other Spring Flowers

 My parents, my husband and I went for a hike in a nearby woods last weekend.  There are still a lot of dried brown leaves around, but we did manage to find some early flowers, a couple of butterflies, and a chorus of croaking frogs.
 
Nothing says early spring like the first hepatica flowers in the woods.

The hepatica flowers ranged in colour from white to lilac to mauve to periwinkle.

There were also bloodroot flowers (terrible name, I know).

and Dutchman's Breeches.

and a few Mourning Cloak butterflies (thank you for holding still Mr. Butterfly while I took your photo).
