Ever wonder why you wallow around in natural areas trying to get nice photos of some plant that's just about impossible to photograph? Well it's just who you are, and it's just what you do. At such times I am always, always reminded of these thoughts by Robert James Waller: "Existence takes on meaning only when you give it meaning – by making it meaningful. And how do you make it meaningful? By listening to those almost-secret voices within you that, at certain critical times, whisper, “This is me.” In those moments, it’s important to consciously note what you are doing and do more of it – a lifetime of it, in fact."
Hepatica acutiloba - Sharp-Lobed Hepatica
Dentaria laciniata - Toothwort 
Claytonia virginica - Spring Beauty
Cardamine douglassii - Spring Cress
Phlox bifida - Cleft Phlox, Sand PhloxA little Madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown
Who ponders this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —
As if it were his own!
(Emily Dickinson)

Great shots, Keith! Your depth of field is absolutely flawless. I for one know that doesn't happen by accident. Great quotes too! I had to write them down.
Keep doing what you are!
