The arrival of Spring presents tremendous opportunities for wildlife and wildflowers. I am always looking for native wildflowers in the hopes to capture something new and it is always a delight to make a find. Spent a couple of weekends cruising the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and was very excited to find wildflowers en masse everywhere. This particular spot was just a few feet from the road, but couldn't been seen when driving by. Luckily we decided to venture up a dry creek bed and found a wildflower paradise. There were literally hundreds of various types as far as I could see. This was my first experience with Yellow Trilliums, Dutchman's Breeches, Spring Beauties and Squirrel Corn. Ah, Spring in the Smokies......
