Snowdrop

Our front door opens onto a narrow dead-end lane and the other side of the lane is a high bank enclosing a field. At the beginning of every year the bank is white with snowdrops and this year there are more than ever: it's quite a sight as all our visitors remark. Somehow though I can't quite capture the drama of that in a photograph, so instead of many hundreds of snowdrops... here's just one!

Nice on black methinks...

Gorgeous! I can't wait to see flowers again.

[Margo Sayer]

The joy they give is inversely proportional to their diminutive size. This is a signally striking reminder of such

So beautiful! Must say I am a little jealous that you have such a lovely subject to photograph. We had more snow and freezing rain here today.

They really are best seen solo but with your own eyes you can appreciate that lovely sounding bank! This one is beautifully taken! fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is quite beautiful and the graceful droop of the flower really shows me where it gets its name from.
