The False Lily-Of-the-Valley, Maianthemum dilatatum, (which means Mayflower) are blooming near Grandma's pond - just carpeting the forest floor. They like damp shade, I guess, since they don't grow anywhere else. They have pretty leaves, too, when the flowers are gone. They're a ground cover, and have berries that turn red in the fall.
I heard some scrabbling around, and thought it was a squirrel, but it was the Pileated Woodpecker. He startled when the flash went off, and flew away.

And yet another photo of Cody on his bike. He's having a great time!
