Along the way we had the good fortune of experiencing some of the first flowers of spring. Beautiful indeed. I'm sure the flower enthusiasts out there know what this is. Unfortunately I couldnt tell you. I am told it is not easily found growing in the wild. What is interesting to me is that on each of my trips to the Slovakian wilderness there seems to be very few critters moving about. There are no doubt a vast array of animals large and small roaming around in these woods, it is just a rare occasion to actually see them. I think of some of my excursions to the woods back home and recall the multitude of birds, squirrels, rabbits, fox, deer… Maybe its my deodorant.
