May on the forest floor

May is a good month to work on sap lines in the sugar bush. The leaves on the maple trees are not fully open so it is easy to see the contours of the land. Plus, when you look down, the forest floor is exploding with life. Here are a few of my favorites.

Spring Beauties,

Dutchman's Breeches,

Jack-in-the-Pulpit,

Red Trillium,

Trout Lily,

Ramps and Fiddleheads,

and the next generation of maple trees sprouting up everywhere.
