The flowers were out in full force along the C&O Canal towpath between White's Ferry and Brunswick. Along some stretches, it is no exaggeration to say that the ground was carpeted with flowers. The ground-cover was lush and green, but most of the trees didn't have too many leaves yet. This combination made for some beautiful views through the woods. The brown tree trunks contrasted sharply with the lush green leaves of the ground-cover.

The Virginia Bluebells were mixed in with a white, six-leaved flower that I couldn't identify. Nevertheless, the scenery was stunning. As an extra bonus, I also have to say, this stretch of the towpath was in excellent condition. For our first outing of the season, our posteriors were appreciative.
