Bird's-foot Violet

June 12, 2015

​When I was a young lad I saw a photograph of a Bird's-foot Violet. Right then and there I vowed to photograph one someday. Over the years I have checked out many Violets but never was in the right place at the right time until last weekend. While looking for the Kirtland's Warbler near Grayling I noticed these small blue flowers along the trail. All of a sudden it dawned on me that I was looking at a flower that had eluded me for many years. Here are two photographs of Bird's-foot Violets. 

They are called Bird's-foot Violet because someone with a good imagination thought the leaves looked like a bird's foot.
