It's among the first forest flowers to bloom, in my home Province of Ontario, Canada... and after the past two weeks I think I'd prefer being a Bear in Hibernation
Very good clarity and sharpness in this image Doug. Before you hibernate remember to take a fully charged cell phone and spare batteries with you. One may forget the location after such a long sleep.

All my life I wished I was a bear during winter time. The thing I find most disgusting are the short daylight periods. I think I might have seen this flower also in my area. This is a charming jewel, Doug dear. SAM & SAAB
Another great selective color use Doug - it's turning into a bad winter for everyone who lives up north - we're expecting -20 to -30F wind chills tonight Brr!
Love it
