I love this spring thing. Buds popping, birds singing, woods greening... I just want it all to slow down so I can take it all in. I know if it did I would not find it so exhilarating. All this newness has a fleeting beauty and it demands my attention.
Mayflower or Trailing Arbutus, Nova Scotia's floral emblem
Hobblebush (Viburnum lantanoides) gets it's name from its habit of growing into the ground and snaring walkers
Baby Beech leaves
I don't know what this plant is but I love its tiny leathery leaves
Apparently Jigs likes them too

I think those might be Teaberry plants. They have wee red berries later in the season? We'd eat them for their wintergreen flavor.

Hi Alice in paris! The leaves are bigger then teaberry leaves but not as small as true cranberry leaves. I checked my book (imagine a book instead of the internet) and they look more like Mountain cranberry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_vitis-idaea
