What a lovely harbinger of spring
Not long now!
Lovely. Snowdrops have been marvellous this year. Thousands and thousands locally. It lifts the spirits.
I wonder if they enjoyed the baking heat of the summer?
Who knows? They’re well tucked underground by then in fairly shady places.
It’s wonderful when they naturalise. We have some, but you have to search them out.
I don’t know what it is about round here. We are awash with them everywhere, which makes January and February so much more acceptable.
Surely it must be tempting to describe snowdrops as appearing in ‘drifts.’
Very much so!
This got a spontaneous OOOH! from me before I even saw the whole thing. If this is a gravesite in the churchyard, its springtime is poignant indeed. Perfect. Thank you!
The graveyard is said to be lovely in spring. I’d love to go back there.
Wow! Spring has sprung. A very beautiful image, Susan!
Thanks, Peter.
Wonderful light in this one Susan.
Yes, very lucky. We were lucky to be allowed in too by the very kind Rector who told us of another garden nearby that we enjoyed seeing.
I love snowdrops. I have one. I don’t know where the rest went, but I can guess that the chipmunks ate them. Every year I think I need to buy some more little bulbs to plant for next year and then I don’t do it.
Mum had a really sweet yellow one a few years ago, but that vanished. I had seriously considered digging it up and trying to chip it to make more. I wish I had tried it now.
These snowdrops are really wonderful 🙂
It was lovely to see them lit up like this.
Very beautiful
Thank you
Lovely use of light, Susan!
Two treats in one – to see the snowdrops and for them to be illuminated so well.

So many sweet, beautiful snowdrops!
The more the merrier seems to work for snowdrops.
Yes, such sweet, welcome little flowers.
So well lit
The lighting was a gift.
