I spent the day geocaching and exploring more at the Shaw Nature Reserve.  This spring is a perfect storm of flowers and blooming trees.  Everything is coming out at once and it's stunning.  I felt like I was in a special fairyland as I walked through the woods.  Here are some more shots of the spring woodland in Missouri.
