Spring in your/our step yet?

I was out to one of my favorite nature spots Wednesday. Sunny, warm, nice.
I was at Wye Mills, in Maryland. There is a large lake to run a grist mill from colonial days, I believe, still in operation. Fishing good for a lot of spring spawners here.
Maryland has become the new home for FRANKENFISH. The Snakehead. Look it up if interested. Wye River now has snakeheads.
I saw four caught. About twelve inches. In three years they will be thirty inches or so. Fresh water barracuda.
Now to macro. I have mentioned the dainty beauty in some weeds. These two are about 3/16- 5-16 inches wide. The hardest part is standing after the shots.
I think this is a permanently reversed 28mm on an 18-55 kit canon lens.
The last shot, an orangish blob, download and look close. Fibers, but of what?

It is looking like Spring down your way!You have Chickweed there, probably Stellaria media, and a Speedwell, probably Veronica persica.

Wool fibres perhaps. I love pretty wild flowers and these are definitely pretty, keep shooting them.

The resting place of a former cocoon? But it's good to get out!
