White globe lily plant in bloom in a shady valley at Almaden Quicksilver Park, California.

Yet another photograph of the white globe lily flowers, though this one includes more of the plant, with its slender, pointed leaves backlit by sunlight filtering through the forest canopy.

Color photograph of spring flowers (larkspur, or delphinium) with seeds, and foliage. Almaden Quicksilver Park, California.

Photographed along a trail through a small canyon where I frequently hike and which I always return to each spring. I was intrigued by the combination of the purple flowers and the seeds on the curving stem.
