I know I ought to stop attempting macro photography with my phone—mobile cameras these days are incredible, but they still have their limitations—but I saw this little huntress move as I ran by, and I felt compelled to try capturing some images of her 🕷️💛

A small, yellow crab spider clings to the underside of a large, white trillium growing along the Mima Falls Trail in Capitol State Forest. The trail is visible at the bottom of the frame, out of focus; beyond the spider and her flower petal, the trees of the Forest crowd the far side of the trail (also out of focus).

Just adding to my collection of trillium portraits here ☺️

Second photo is a bonus for the science hippies, not very artful composition. I just wanted to document how these patches of trillium along the Mima Falls Trail had so many purple-pink phenotypes. In this bonus photo, more than 75% of the flowers are the purple-pink variety. (I'm counting those that are purple-pink on white as purple-pink) Interesting stuff!

A patch of 21 (visible) trillium blossoms decorate the forest floor. A slice of sunlight cuts through the forest to illuminate the patch. Of the 21 (visible) flowers, 16 are various shades of purple-pink; only 5 flowers appear to be solid white.

So a while back, I thought I’d killed the grocery store trillium and bought a few new bulbs online. They were very slow to break ground and I was worried I’d waited too long.

What do you know! The original trillium isn’t dead! And it doubled! I’m so relieved, it’s very silly.

Good gods, I love the spring. Trilliums are out and I even caught a little action.
