Lakeshore Nature Preserve - Part 1

What a wonderful walk this week on the many trails in the Eagle Heights area of Madison, Wisconsin.  It is called – Lakeshore Nature Preserve - so many Spring flowers blooming.  Many I can identify – some not.

I will do this posting in two parts, so many photos needs more than two but two will be enough for now.

Enjoy hiking alone with me.

    My jaw dropped when I saw that twisted tree ! remarkable !
    I love this nature trail by the water .. it can't get better than that.
    I have to try a May Apple one year in my shade section .. I have always been a bit intrigued by them. How pretty even simple violets are right ?

    Yes, we're seeing many of the same plants now. ;-) I forgot about the twisted tree...I need to get over to LNP again one of these days. As your post illustrates, it's really special. I believe the one plant you ask about is False Solomon's Seal.

    I believe the one you're asking about is False Solomon's Seal.
