      great shot!
      I remember first seeing these along some trails in the Smokey Mountains, northern Ga. has some great wildflowers.

      Sorry Jim, I got exited too when I saw the first leaves yesterday so I had to post this photo I took last year. It is only a month off if everything goes well.

      Great perspective, depth of field. A favorite spring wildflower and a tough one to capture.

    12. Rob Robbins (52 months ago | reply)

      It certainly is a beautiful flower and until I looked at the date, I was shockd thinking it had bloomed in this cold weather...ha

    13. Alan Cressler (52 months ago | reply)

      Thanks everyone. I hope spring is near! Rob, I have seen trout lilies booming with snow all over them. Their leaves can withstand extremely cold temperatures. This area on Stone Mountain is north facing and has not seen any direct sun yet. Some how they know.
