More signs of Spring

Yes, Spring is springing everywhere I look. Spied this
clump of snowdrops in the garden at lunchtime but
didn't have much time other than a shot using the pinhole
art filter on the E-P1. Hopefully if it's not raining I'll get
some macro shots at the weekend. Mind you, I probably
won't have much time, as I'll be covering the count on
Saturday - should be an unusual combination of
boredom and excitement!

These blooms make a lovely group - yes, waterfall is a great image, Carl.
Think I'll try planting some this autumn although our winters aren't as cold as yours.

An image that is a true harbinger of Spring.

LOL, "an unusual combination of boredom and excitement!" - how very true Mairead!! Lovely shot though, I do like snowdrops, they really are the advanced party of Spring...

You are so much further along than we are in New York. I like the way Carl described this...like a floral waterfall. Pretty shot. ~V~

A very beautiful shot of them. I have some too, surprisingly, they grow well in the warmest/coldest spot in the garden. Quite wonderful to see. V

Beautiful shot of these snowdrops! I'm afraid we will have to wait a bit longer before they appear here. ~V~

Sooooo pretty! :)
I saw snowdrops in the Loire Valley exactly 1 month ago today.

This is a good, cheering-up picture to be going on with until the macro goes into action. Very nice.
