Snowdrops

359 - What a difference a day makes - a beautiful sunny day, temperatures up to 9 degrees centigrade, and it really feels like spring is almost here.

One of the early flowers to bloom here in the UK is the Snowdrop, so, since I had to go into York city centre today, I called at Holy Trinity Church in Micklegate, where there is a carpet of these lovely delicate flowers. It's one of the best displays of Snowdrops that I know in this area.

So here we are - another sign of spring and a lovely day!
Such lovely focus and a real sign of Spring.

That's beautiful. I envy you with the sun today. We had a brief half hour. Hopefully more tomorrow. I *really* need another outdoor shot....

Just perfect. You're right: the sun does make so much difference. I'd lined up another indoor shot in my head, but just had to go out instead today.

Beautiful shot and lovely to see the flowers opened up outdoors. The ones in our garden have stayed closed up against the cold and I had to bring some indoors to get a decent shot of them yesterday
