Purple Violets - Macro Photography

I found these delightful little purple violets growing along the side of a woods road. These Maine wildflowers bloom in early spring in Maine and are often in bloom during Fiddleheading time. My mother always marveled and their beauty and declared she would bring something to dig them up for her wildflower garden the following year. Somehow, she always forgot her promise by the following year, but that didn't quell her excitement when she saw them again.
