These are bluets. Charming little guys.

Bishops Cap

I have given up on identifying this one

Spring Beauty

Great set, especially like your Spring Beauty.

I wish B'rer Mole wasn't playing hooky--no doubt off 'rasslin' bears and reuniting lost fawns with their mothers as we speak--but I'm going to call your mystery bloom Carey's saxifrage...a wet habitat and broad leaves might let you know we're getting close.

Another nice set. #1 and #3 my favorites.

Thank you for the ID. I had it down as mountain saxifrage but it seemed a bit too early for it to be blooming. Can't find a photo of Carey's in my books so I will get a look at it on line. Identifying wildflowers is a labor of love and drives me nuts sometimes. Didn't get a shot of the leaves but the plant was growing on a hillside in the Smokies. Mole is never around when you really need him.

I think both Mountain/Michaux's saxifrage (as well as brook lettuce) have a little thinner petals toward their base--hard to tell if you're not Mole!

Thank you kindly. The bug was a bonus for me too. It wasn't about to move until it got its photo taken.

Just gorgeous!

The first one is my favorite....what a beautiful framed print it would make!

Thanks Rupert. Those bluets always look fuzzy to me for some reason. They are so tiny and delicate that I have a lot of trouble getting a shot of them.

That shot needs to be posted in the Bokeh Thread!

As for sharpness........that is a perfect example that needle/razor sharpness is not the priority some give it. It is a lovely shot, and has a soft beauty that is just perfect!

Regards!

Nice shots, Susan!
