....into a frosty world she is born, pure and delicate her head nods gently in the breeze, that silver morn doth bring. Meekest of all flowers, she proudly stands, bringing joy to the hearts of man, who glimpses her in woody bowers. Her petalled bell holds hope, sweetness fills her stem, and in her frostiness she keeps her yearly promise - The longed-for warmth of yet another Spring. (poem by Philippa Lane) ...and photograph taken last Saturday

Wow, I have never seen one of them (we call them Snowbell) that early. Very, very nice macro, but I am not so much a fan of frames.

Phew Patti ! that Philippa Lane was not lost for words here...
I wonder what her text would be if she realy liked her subject !!! it would be endless i guess.

All i can say is that i love your photo, and specialy how you have presented it to us.
The edge or do you call it bevel, adds to the scene very much so.
Well done !

WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
