That time has come again. The time of spring wildflowers, the time of the Virginia Bluebell. Every winter I think of the forests filled with blue and long for the time when I can photograph these gorgeous flowers. Then, as spring rolls in I dutifully set out to photograph them. After doing so, however, I always get that familiar feeling that I can’t capture the beauty of these flowers as I experience them in person. This happens year after year! Much of this difficulty is due to the fact that Virginia Bluebells grow mostly in flood plains. These floods provide nutrients for the bluebells, but also ensure that countless small saplings will be growing in the same area, creating a tangled mess of a forest that is often not the easiest to photograph in. Regardless, for as long as I’m living in Virginia, I will keep going out to see the bluebells. They are just too beautiful to pass up. Maybe one day I’ll create an image that seems really special to me.
