Natural Beauty


Virginia Bluebells - Virginia Cowslip ( Mertensia virginica)
Happened upon these while traveling on the Natchez Trace in
NW Alabama during late spring. I pulled into a side loop road along
Bear Creek while traveling to Florence, AL. These beautiful flowers
were along a mowed area next to the creek and caught my eye quickly with their pink and blue trumpet/bell shaped flowers.
