fishing for trout

[OT from cottage renovations]

for a few days now I've been keeping an eye on the patches of trout lilies in the East Woods.  their distinctive speckled leaves have come up through the leaf carpet where the spring beauties are already bringing forth wispy drifts of colour, and while squishing about today (two inches of rain over the past couple of days made wellies mandatory) I finally saw one that is preparing to come into bloom.
