I've always loved grape hyacinths - in fact I have that color on my nails right now! Well done again with that lens.

What's in a name, Sandi? These lovely tiny flowers are in my country called 'Blauwe Druifjes' (blue little grapes) . Both the Dutch and the English title may indicate that they're edible, but, as far as I know, they happily aren't, so that their beauty stays intact for the beholder and the photographer. Your very fine image is a good proof of the latter!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

A delight to see - a sure sign of Spring. Bee is a bonus :) Their nickname here is "Matchheads". The seasons ate silly, I have a clump showing their leaves already in Autumn .

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
