Cemetery Snowdrops (+PiPs)

You've composed this well, Keith; not only with the snowdrops but also with the array of crosses. Great stuff, sir.

Thank you kind sir...............much appreciated. It's good of you to drop in and comment.

Really beautiful Keith, and even more so viewed large. Cemeteries are a great source for pictures of flowers and memorial stones, as you show us here. Both crosses are beautifully captured and enhanced by the snowdrops at their feet. Three superb shots.

There are not many snowdrops where my parents are buried but in a week or so, the cemetery will be covered in daffodils.

Glad you like these ones Rosa.............this cemetery was very unkempt (so good for wildflowers), but quite difficult to get a shot that wasn't full of distractions.

We actually stopped to feed the ducks in the adjacent duck pond.........so a lucky find really.

Wunderschöne Schneeglöckchen.

Thank you Luis.

Perfect and beautiful! I love the profusion of snowdrops and also the lovely old crosses.

Thanks Gudrun, I'm pleased you like these. Yes, the old crosses are really lovely, especially the Celtic one in the second PiP.

Beautiful field of wild flowers.

Thank you Jaap............I'm glad you like it.

A better place to be six feet under...

Oooh, that's a bit morbid Isabel.................

The chaotic distribution of crosses..
The simplicity of these cemeteries fascinates me, Keith!

Yes, there were quite a few crosses and fallen gravestones...........the whole cemetery was quite unkempt.

Cemeteries are nearly aways good for photography though±!

Da hast du ja noch einen richtigen Teppich von Schneeglöckchen gehabt lieber Keith,das ist echt ein wunderschöner Anblick und auch deine beiden Kreuze hast du sehr schön ins Bild gesetzt :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Glad you enjoyed this little series Güni..............I particularly liked the crosses as well. Thanks for your kind comments.

A sea of snowdrops, lovely!

Thanks Stephan.

Wonderful to have all these flowers in the cemetery. Beautiful spring-time photo.

It was indeed Ronald...............thank you so much.

C'est vrai qu'en grand format ça prend une autre dimension. Bien joué Keilth.

Thank you sir............much appreciated.

Is it naughty of me to like the PiPs best? Especially the Celtic cross, the detail is fabulous Keith, it almost looks recent (well the image certainly is!!)

Ha, ha.........not at all Maggie. I liked the crosses as well.

I just had another look at the Celtic cross.........the dedication on the base is dated in the early 1800s, but the cross itself seems to be in much better condition and made of a harder material, so maybe it's not deteriorated much, or possibly it was a later replacement?

Thanks for posting to the

You're welcome John.

Wow that's a large swath of snowdrops Keith. As I said when I posted mine, they seem to be abundant this year. As usual a great catch here and I like the PIPs too.

Cheers. Herb

Yes, the place was full of them............it was a lucky find because we only stopped in Buriton to feed the ducks on the local duckpond.

Glad you like these Herb........thanks very much.

A white carpet. Wonderful

Thanks very much Annemarie.

What an incredible number of snowdrops here, Keith. I love the PiP's - what amazing crosses. One extremely beautifully sculpted and the other a gorgeous Celtic Cross.

Thanks Jenny...........I wish I'd found them earlier. Glad you like the crosses too.

Wunderbare Aufnahmen, Keith! Ich liebe dieses Meer voller Schneeglöckchen.

Thank you Wilhelm............kind as always.

This really holds my attention. Great shot.

I'm glad to hear it John...........thank you.

How lovely to see so many together!

It was Eunice...........glad you like them.

Two splendid crosses, the Celtic one deserves to be more than just a PiP. Yes the you were about 10 days to two weeks late for the best of the snowdrops, Keith.
