Have a Happy Easter!

Violets wouldn't be that easy to photograph in such a wide field - they always cower among their heartshaped leaves. <br />I wish you a happy Easter!

Since that time that area has developed into a wonderful bike path, and I hunger for it this time every year. We seldom get back to Ohio to see the daffodils in bloom (my favorite flower)... nor to see the bike path in it's most glorious time of year... but your post of those very flowers make me both happy and very sad.... happy that those sights are still to be beholden... but kind of sad that I won't see them this time around.
