Several times recently, half promises of an early Spring have been dashed by the fickle UK climate. For example, after a comparatively mild week, we were greeted yesterday morning with sustained heavy snow showers. On the plus side, the coating of snow on the trees emphasised the patterns and shapes quite beautifully.

In the flower borders, the early Spring flowers struggled valiantly in their search for air and light as the snow deepened.






Indeed, we were on the same page, except I’ve no flowers to showcase yet:) These are all quite beautiful.
Thanks Elena. Today the sun has shone beautifully and the snow has disappeared – but, of course, more is promised!!
Well, they’re very nice pictures….and more coming? You’ll have lots of great snow photos anyway.
Thanks – but I really don’t want any more this year!!
The flower shots are great – particularly the middle one (I’m no horticulturalist!)
The flowers have recovered marvellously these last two days with the disappearance of the snow and the encouragement of a little sunshine.
Ha – I think mine are drowning!
Those poor, wee crocuses! It is hard to believe another climate and weather pattern exists elsewhere, now that we have moved continents. That’s how fickle I am.
So ye’ve taken a wee bit of Scotland with ye have ye not? Wee crocuses!!
