Raccoon Creek (Week 4)

I visited Raccoon Creek Wildflower Reserve last Monday, 4-20 and found it bursting with blooms. The Virginia bluebells in particular are stunning. They actually bloom in a variety of colors, and lavender, pink and white blossoms can be found there. Now is the best time to see them, but there are still more flowers to come.
