Wild flower season

It was a beautiful weekend to take a walk in the park. Seems like first week of May is the time for wild flowers all around here. Had I not participated it, I would have never thought to look for them. This time I did, I noticed there are so many kinds, forms and colors.

They are not so easy to photograph, though. Background often consists of messy, brown fallen leaves. Even in the woods, on sunny day many are in direct sunlight, creating too much contrast a washing out color. I had to be picky, first to which flowers I directed the lens, then which pictures I picked for processing and posting.
