Virginia bluebells !!!
A quick scramble down a 25′ rock ledge takes one to this magical woodland place.
An ephemeral surprise each spring when the floodplain below the ledge our home is built on becomes a sea of blue. A few pink and white one’s mingle in with the blue masses.

Finding calm in the storm.
A beautiful morning walk along the Bull Run through a haze of bluebells. Followed by a return trip at days end for some close ups of the ephemeral treasures.
May everyone be safe ~ prayers for those who have been lost, those who are fighting this illness, and, those brave souls who care for them.

I made my annual pilgrimage to the Mason-Dixon Historical Park this morning to pay homage to Mertensia virginica, the Virginia bluebells. Upon reaching peak bloom in Mid-April, this gorgeous spring ephemeral cascades down the gentle, rich slopes above Dunkard Creek in fantastic waves of blue. Too bad the plant’s dazzling green foliage goes dormant in early summer.
