Rite of Spring

 I got that exciting feeling back, looking for spring wildflowers.  Three locations during a warm, sunny afternoon.  The first three wildflowers I found were in the Southpark Trail system above Chandler Road.  Above is the Spring Whitlow Grass, all of 1/4" in diameter.  Below are two views of Henderson's Shooting Star.

 Finally, Shelton's Violet.  After hiking in this area for about an hour, I drove down the Old Keddie Highway, then on the Golden Eagle Avenue, the main road leading into Feather River College.  Too 54 photos altogether, and I'll be posting more tomorrow along with anticipated hikes for the remainder of the week.
