I'm thrilled to be first Anne-Marie. This is a beautiful reminder of spring! We have sunny skies today but snow is on it's way once again. I will just enjoy this springy image in the meantime. =^..^= Tigglette ♪

Hi Anne-Marie! These little snowdrops are an exquisite harbinger of spring, and much more welcome than the other kind of snowdrops... ;-))

These tiny white blossoms look so fragile Anne-Marie but we know they are strong and sturdy and remind us to hang on like they did, we will survive...Spring will be here soon :~) I really like the contrast between the crisp whiteness of the snowdrop blooms and the sorta green, sorta not surroundings! The fresh greenery of the snowdrop leaves really stands out amongst the other winterized foliage in the image!. Good shot for straight from the camera.
Thanks for breathing life into this 'tired of winter' old soul!

Many thanks for sharing this with me :o)

They're always such a relief, and a surprise, to see aren't they? You got a good clump in your garden for sure. I've only seen the odd few dotted about the place. For straight out of the camera this has plenty of nice contrast and clean colour. I'm soooo glad to see these. There's a tiny bit more light every day now and thank goodness, this winter seems to be never-ending.

A lovely little circle of Springtime - a delight to see Anne-Marie, and I am sure you will be pleased when Spring finally arrives in all its glory. As your days are lengthening ours are getting shorter.
