I think I walked the same trails at the Cincinnati Nature Center at lunch today that Nina walked this weekend. At least, I found a lot of the same flowers, mostly the non-native spring flowering bulbs that are the legacy of Carl Krippendorf, who owned this property many years ago.
I did find one non-native that Nina didn't report - Anemone or Windflower.
A native plant, Virginia Bluebells are just beginning to bloom.
Another native, Spring Beauties, are emerging, too.
And, best of all, one of the earliest trees to leaf out - the Buckeye, of course!
Nina: No, believe it or not, these are with the old point-and-shoot Canon. Perhaps it knows the new camera is coming, and has decided to play nice for a change. I was surprised - I have never gotten such good close-ups before!
Susan: Yeah, I've upgraded to a DSLR - a Canon Rebel. It's coming this week, so I have a month to learn how to work it.
And yes, buckeye leaves do look like marijuana, but how did YOU know that?
Come visit me in my world,
5 acres of southwest Ohio, which I share with a collection of pets and wild things. Take your shoes off and have a seat - what we can find to talk about today?
Since April 1, 2009 (with a few exceptions), Canon Rebel Xsi, using either a Canon EFS 18-55mm IS lens or a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Before April, 2009, a Canon Powershot A530 point and shoot with 5 megapixels and a 4x optical zoom.

Buckeye looks too much like marijuana. I'm just sayin'.

Love the Virginia Bluebells! Nice wildflower shots.
Great shots, Kathie. I can't wait for the weekend to see what's blooming here! Your pics give me hope!
And WOW on the camera upgrade! Good luck--I'm sure Julie will help you master it. (again, I cry a little because I won't be there) (sniffle)
