tree-hug on april 25

Make sure you look carefully before tree-hugging.  I didn't. 

And out of all the places my hand could have landed it found this disturbingly slimy slug.  Ugh!  Actually it was more like a small scream.

The heart-wood of the tree.

I think this is 'toothwort' a type of bittercress.

Red trillium, also called wake-robin.  

A sip-of-raindrop held in a a leafy fairy-cup.  💚 Enjoy the magic.  It is everywhere. 💚 Peace
