Despite the risk of tempting fate, and disappearing beneath twenty feet of snow, it would appear that Spring might have sprung. The garden has loads of Snowdrops coming into flower over two weeks earlier than last year. The shot in my other album today is a shot from yesterday that I really liked and did not want to miss.
Lovely capture, the light is great. This seems so early. I'm surprised this is only two weeks earlier than last year. They're a bit later than that normally around here and last year they were really, really late! I guess you are a fair bit further south than I am!
@roachling Thank you very much Louse, its actually two and a half weeks earlier, this year the 13th, last year the 30th. I am actually further north than you, I am in Widnes but have the advantage of being much nearer to sea level than you, and also we also get the warming effects from the Mersey estuary. We do not seem to get really severe or prolonged cold.
@alia_801 Thank you very much Alia, that seems scary HOT, I was watching a news story this morning about your very high temperatures. Stay cool.
@markp
oh, seeing those snowdrops out so soon, I thought you must be in the south! I was though thinking a few days ago that I should investigate the local snowdrops as with the mild winter we've had, I'm expecting them to appear early.
