Bluebells from Underneath |
Along the trail |
However this year, I watched the chatter going back and forth on my photography club email lists about the readiness of the blooms at Worthington and at Bull Run, and so I decided that today was the day to go and see.

One of my favorites |
The first part of the trail yielded tiny white and pink flowers known as Spring Beauty, and occasionally tiny yellow flowers. Farther along the trail, when it was closer to the river, I found clumps of bluebells. Some were still tight buds, but I estimate that about 1/4 of the bluebells were actually in bloom. By the end of the week, there should be plenty of full display.
Dogtooth Violet |
Hurricane Debris |
Near the end of the wooded section of the trail, before it dumped back out into the fields by the cattle pasture, I found yellow dogtooth violets, also known as trout lily.

Clumps of buds soon to burst |
It was a great day to go wildflower hunting at Worthington. I especially hope that my friend Joan and her daughter Katie enjoy the photos.
