One morning I walked out to walk Shorty to a gorgeous early spring day. The sunlight was so bright I had blue spots as the afterimage - NOT! It was the tiny sweet violets shown here. I thought at first they were Colts Foot Violets, but the are simply the tiniest sweet violets ever!

Journaling reads: These tiny harbingers of spring dot the lawn in the thousands like sparkling gems. The sweet gum balls are from the same photos and in the same proportion, showing just how tiny these jewels are!
