The sands of time sure slip through my fingers quickly. It's hard to believe that it's been over a month since my last gallery update, but here we are in the middle of March.

My fingers are itching to scoop up the dirt and set free the vibrant scent of spring from the soil. The weather's still not quite right for it, so I guess I'll have to content myself with pictures and a little bit of imagination.

With that in mind, I present to you another eclectic collection of flora from around the United States. Some of these slides go back twelve years to my travels in western Oregon (has it been that long already?!?) while others were taken just last year.

I hope they help hold you over until you can get your hands dirty. Until then, keep warm!
