An early summer walk

Such a rainy spring and early summer!     
It is good to take advantage of the breaks in the sprinkles 
to take a refreshing walk along the road.  
The irises are showing off the dewdrops as we pass by the woodland gardens.  

Among the wildflowers, we find Dames Rocket peeking at us through the split rail fence.  
It looks very much like Phlox, but blooms much earlier.

Around the corner there is a lovely glade filled with ferns.  
Most look like delicate Bracken and Ostrich Ferns,
but there is a stretch of Rattlesnake Ferns which have a much wider leaf.
Such a threatening name for a lovely plant!
 Delicate pink Wild Geraniums peek out from the ferns to say "Hello."

"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own;"
