the first snowdrops by quietpurplehaze

the first snowdrops

I love these little delicate and fragile flowers and these are the first I've seen this year and probably the earliest in January that I've ever seen any snowdrops. I shall attribute the poor quality of my shot to it being a long way down to where they were growing around the gravestones in the churchyard at Fareham and not wanting to actually sit on the sodden ground.
Love the point of view even if you didn't lay on the ground :-)

It's lovely to see these signs of spring. I don't think the shot is poor quality: good dof.

Thank you, you're v kind - I did crop it quite a lot and expected a better focus but it was hard to see what the camera was doing!

They are early and all the more welcome for that! I can't believe you weren't prepared to lie full length on soggy ground to get your preferred shot! :-)
