What are these...

Tell me if this bird and bunny stuff wears thin on this forum. The photo forum doesn't seem to get too many hits currently.

These are some winter range flowers starting to show through the dead grass. Can anybody ID them? I don't know what they are but would like to know.

Two different types here...

blackrock,

if you're a shed hunter like me, you have a severe dislike for arrowleaf...once it leafs out, i give up looking for sheds cuz i'd have to trip on them to find them!
