f is for frilly flowers (snowdrop)

Well it felt a bit wicked to be taking the colours out of these, too, but the month is nearly over and I can go mad with colour in march if they live a little longer.
Such pretty, frilly snowdrops, they are growing in the churchyard and the sun today was pretty so I got way down low trying to capture all three.
Thank you for all your kind (and encouraging!) comments on my focus shot... after day 2 I think that putting contact lenses in is definitely easier than taking them out, near-vision isn't perfect but most-vision is miles better (than without) and I'm told my eyes look bigger, possibly because I'm not squinting to focus any more :)
Have a fantastic Friday mwah!
Great perspective and b&w :)

Lovely lacy Spring flowers! Phil, I have to tell you that I saw your post yesterday right before my scheduled eye appointment so I asked my doctor about contacts. I wore them home for a ten day trial! I was ecstatic because I could SEE without glasses! Then last night I struggled till I cried trying to get it out of my eye. Took an hour. Hoping that part gets easier. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Lovely - these have got really broad heads haven't they. Very delicate

We have some somewhere under the snow. Our winter is sure hanging on this year. Colder than I've ever known it here.

Beautiful shot, Phil! I love the way the light is hitting them. It's a great contrast. Well done :)

@redy4et Putting them in and taking them out gets a lot easier. I actually miss wearing contacts. I get the disposables and the ones you can sleep in for a week (usually). Now I have to get the ones for astigmatism so it's a real pain because they don't feel right sometimes because I have an eye that it comes and goes in (which is not normal and I told my eye doc that I have never been normal... lol). It's all mind over matter. You will get used it ... both you and Phil @filsie65!

it's the glasses - they make your eyes look smaller - so many snowdrops here
