| Virginia Bluebells |
I had scheduled a much anticipated (by me) bike ride on the C&O Canal Towpath to view the Virginia Bluebell blooms. They only bloom for about two weeks a year and are a lovely sight to behold. So we headed up north last Sunday for the ride and a picnic. I had 5 cyclists on the rsvp list but only Ken showed up. I was not shocked when Ken arrived by bike but I was a tad dismayed that 4 people had blown the event off. First time I have had such a dismal turnout.
The ride started out cold and blustery. Ken, being a bike patrol, had been up and down the towpath very recently and he recommended we start out going north, as we had planned to do. We only considered going the other direction as I was worried the bluebells hadn't popped yet.

| There was only a spattering of flowers as we started out. This photo is of the trail behind us going out. The Potomac was on our left for the trip north. |

| There were a great many of these flowers, name unknown to me |
 |
| And these! Wow! So pretty and again I don't know their name |
