What a difference two days can make! Throughout the day the sun has shone brightly and there has been an encouraging crispness about the air.
In the copse at Mill Farm the cheery snowdrops chased away memories of the cold, dark days. With remarkable resilience they forced their way through matted ivies, decaying leaves and fallen branches to produce a carpet of pure white.
In the sheep field the ewes took life easy - a time to relax before giving birth in just a few more weeks.
Yes, it feels as if Spring could be on the way!!
ah, the snowdrops are beautiful! surely warm weather will follow! z
Thanks z. The anticipation of Spring has to be cloaked in caution at this time. Our climate is notooriously unpredictable.
Wow, a veritable carpet of snowdrops – and the light on those sheep does look warmer, it really does. Thank you!
The display of snowdrops in the copse is truly amazing this year. Regarding the ‘warm light’ I’ll reserve judgement for a few days!! Certainly the last three days have been beautiful and quite energising.
Well, it comes and it goes, but we can trust that the trend is toward warm!
Oh my goodness! Springy! No spring in sight here.
It could all be an illusion Elena – just wishful thinking!
Our poor snowdrops have been covered in frost every morning. It amazes me how such a delicate looking plant can be so tough.
As for the sheep – she’s obviously been celebrating all ready and got a bit legless
You’re absolutely right – however hostile the conditions the snowdrop, amazingly and unfailingly, survives and cheers us with the promise of Spring.
Sheep just never stop eating – even to the point of getting on their knees to get more!!
lovely photos of snowdrops!
Thanks Dana. If you’ve not already done so you should take a look. It’s a magnificent display.
