lovely image of the spring season 🙂
I hope we’ll get a lovely wave of colour sweeping through soon 🙂
Beautiful flowers! I wish spring were nearer here.
These wee flowers can appear even through snow and ice…they look so delicate and pretty but don’t be fooled! They come up every year in time for St Brides Day…whatever sort of winter we’re having. Here it’s sticking with the theme of grey and wet 😦
Here we have wedding cake white for St. Brides Day. 😉
Perfect…snow always seems right!
Your posts always seem just right. 🙂
Brenda, you’re so kind 🙂
Very pretty. I like how the blurred blue pack ground brings out the whites
I love it when I catch the light like that…adds to the magic✨
How lovely. One of my daughter’s had Snowdrop as her middle name because she was born at very beginning of spring. They are such a pretty flower and your photo really captures that. I wonder if Bride is a variation of the name of the Goddess known as Brigit in Ireland.
She is…and Brigantia which is her English version….of course I’m certain that Bride is the original!!
I don’t which name came first but here’s a trick I learned many years ago that you may not know. When you feel in danger or in need of support you can whistle for Brigit. Just a one quick whistle and you can feel her coming to your aid. It doesn’t have to be a loud whistle – just done with intent. It really works 🙂
Beautiful haiku and love the image!
Many thanks Indah💕
I didn’t know about Bride, thank you, I need a ‘love’ button.
Gilly, I often want a love button too💕like is sometimes just not enough! You’ll have heard of St Bridget I’m sure….she’s just another face of Bride…..😊
A very pretty photo! Loved it. 🙂
Thanks Nandini….snowdrops are just so pretty✨
Lovely snowdrops .. Gorgeous image
I do love it when the snowdrops appear…a promise of more flowers to come 🙂
Gorgeous!
Thanks Mary, I love these little flowers of promise
Oh, snowdrops already! How gorgeous1
They haven’t been shy this year…popping up in deep waves along with the very first tips of the wild garlic….it so early for the wild garlic though
Lovely words and pictures. Last night I saw pictures of Scotland’s waterfalls blowing backwards/up and not down due to the windstorms. I hope you are safe. Plus, I look forward to seeing Springs beautiful pictures too!
The winds has been making its mighty presence felt, and blowing all sorts of things in the wrong direction! We’ve had a little damage to the roof with some slates coming off and a skylight blowing in….but otherwise we’re all safe….if a little windswept!
I’m glad you are safe!! Consider taking up hang-gliding, para-sailing, or something with a parachute!! How terrible that your skylight blew in. I hope nothing else inside was damaged or hurt!! Stay safe!!
So well done, such a touching image and bit of haiku…The seasons are starting to move with so much greater speed.
They are Charlie and this year I’m delighted to see the back…or at least the beginning of the back of winter😊 However sometimes winter has a few more surprises for us over the next 6 weeks…..
Melting heart and soul, very touching words. Love thiis beautiful photo!
Hearts and soul…..hearts and soil😆 delighted you enjoyed this✨
Lovely image and haiku. I love to see the snowdrops, their presence always surprises me!
And what a nice surprise✨and had almost forgotten that the days were lengthening….what with all the grey sky and wild wind…so they surprised me too this year😊
Really lovely flowers, Seonaid. Love the haiku. 🙂
Thank you…..you’ve got to love a snowdrop don’t you? Not only for their sheer prettiness, but also for their symbolic announcing of the turning year✨💕✨
So spring has arrived at last…
Let’s hope she’s here to stay….growing in strength and colour😆
Nice. Is that image archival, or was it captured recently? If the latter … I’m envious! Such an appropriate subject and apt metaphor.
Just outside my back door David….but the pools of light are passing splashes😆
Splendid and pure snowdrops ! Nice pictures
He announced the beginning of spring
They really are springs herald…..announcing the growing light and lengthening days😊
With all my heart: welcome back, Bride! ❤
She’s always welcome! Bringer of warmth and sunshine😊✨
so pretty! its that time of year again 🙂
It is….snowdrop time✨💕✨
