Violets

I got home after a long day out yesterday and as I stepped out of the car I looked down and saw these gorgeous little violets growing out of the gravel. 'That will make a nice photo' I thought,

And another one! Very sharp, Sue, were you on your knees? You weren't at garden centre yesterday again were you?

[Helen]

Lovely photo, especially as it was a quick 'snapshot'

[Sue Cooper]

@pamelaclarke Actually I was on my knees and I was also using the very clever little movable screen thingy on the camera. No I wasn't at the garden centre, I went to Hereford (but I did have a big scone with jam and cream).

@dizzyd Thank you Helen. Violets are so pretty and the colour so intense that you can't really fail.

[Sue Moore]

You were right, mine aren't out yet!!

These are such beautiful flowers - I don't think I have ever seen them in the flesh.

Beautifully detailed spring capture

@virtualbrownie Thank you VB. They're so small they can so easily get overlooked. I wish I could send you some for your garden but wild flowers only seem to grow where they're supposed to be.

There seem to be masses of violets including white ones this year. Lovely photo.

[Sue Cooper]

@foxes37 Thanks Lis. Ive never seen white ones. Suddenly we seem to have these lovely blue ones everywhere. I guess it's a good year for everything.

So lovely to see!

@craig3f2 They're so small and delicate aren't they.
