Here’s hoping the sweet buds and spring growth showing early due to such confusing weather, survive until they are suppose to show their beautiful faces.
I love your “perce-neige”, the best sign to look for at the end of the cold winter (we are not yet there though). I like the sharp flower and the blurred background. It helps keeping the focus on the main subject of your picture.
Hugs 🙂
Clear as clear can be – the clarity of this photo is great.
I love the precious little bud lifting up to the sky brave
as brave can be.

I guess daffodils too as they are coming up in a friend’s yard! I love that “tough little blighters” phrase Cobbies! I have to remember that. Thank you!
This is always my flower of hope, and promises of warmer days to come. these are my favourite flower and it is lovely to see them here. Early they may be but they are designed to survive the cold. And they have a wonderful design inside with delicate green lines on the inside of the petals, if you take the time to lift up it’s head to the sky.
whoa! wrong timing for those cute little plants! it’s not even february yet! i guess we just enjoy their beauty while they are here. thanks for catching and sharing, margie!
It has been pretty wild seeing buds everywhere and a friend with daffodils coming up! This guy I actually took last spring, certainly not as early as February, but this is an odd kind of winter where anything is possible.
aw, perfect Margie.
one of my favourites after winter -whether it was a harsh or mild one.
there is just something about snowdrops that makes me smile.
thanks for sharing 🙂

Why thank you my technical pal Pierre! Means a lot coming from you!
wow! Beautiful colors and light. Awesome!
Simply beautiful!
Thanks Nelson RN! Appreciate you stopping by!
Beautiful photo and that reminds me….I need some bulbs. Also, I did not hijack your line.
I’m assuming light bulbs as it is still a bit early for the other variety, even with our crazy odd winter weather!
Perfect, Margie. peaceful, simple and Hopeful.
Glad you think so Susie! Thanks for stopping by and paying me a visit!

Good Morning Margie! Perfect for HOPE! Spring is coming 🙂
Before we know it! Thanks Pix!
Cheers to hope! Beautiful photo, Margie. 🙂
Hope comes in so many forms! Thanks Nandini!
They will make it now don’t worry! Wonderful shot of one of my favourite flowers, I usually hurt my knees and get filthy taking shots like this!
Haha, you definitely have to get down and dirty to get them! Thanks!
That’s a nice flower. The snow is gone already?
Haha, it’s snowing quite hard right this very minute Cardinal, but don’t know how much we are expecting or how long it will stick around.
I love the low angle you took this snowdrop from. It gives it extra presence.
I get up close and personal with the ground to get shots like this, LOL!
What a great entry my friend I love it 🙂
It usually is the first to show its pretty face in the early throws of spring. Thanks Jake!

Oh Kate, such pretty words for a pretty early bloom. Thank you!

Thanks Jo!!
Lovely picture!
Thank you Julliane, and for popping in for a visit! I appreciate it!
Hi Margie, I was just looking out my window yesterday, into the part of the garden where the snowdrops bloom! A photo for HOPE for sure!
There are little signs of growth all around. Now this morning, it is snowing pretty hard. So pretty. Not sure how much expected. Such an odd winter.
Hope springs eternal for sure! Beautiful!
Thank you Barb, who is currently in the heat of summer!
Beautiful and perfect for the theme of hope. 🙂
Aw, thanks my friend!
wow, that really is early for you northerners! i was thinking we’re about a month ahead here, too.
Oh my it’s blooming!

I have a pal nearby who has daffodils coming up! Crazy.

It sure does. So pretty, but tuff!
