Spring Snowflake (+PiPs)

So far this year I have been unable to find any decent looking Snowdrops to photograph. However, my neighbour has a lovely patch of Spring Snowflakes in her garden, which I was allowed to access.

These are much easier for me to photograph as they grow taller than snowdrops and I don't have to get so low down :-))

There are a couple more shots in the PiPs including a close up look at the inside of the flower (for which I used my 60mm macro lens).

I love these snowflakes Keith. I have seen so many snowdrops this year, even along the banks of main roads, but I haven't yet seen any snowflakes. All three pictures are equally beautiful and no accidents this time :-)

Have a good new week Keith.

Thank you so much Rosa.

I actually found some snowdrops yesterday in a churchyard. I haven't processed the photos yet, but I'll have a look at them of the computer later today.

They are just lovely, 3 excellent shots! Good on you being able to go down so low as to get these photos, I doubt my knees would like that;-)

These were in a neighbours garden, so I was able to take out a small stool to sit on :-))

Somewhat similar to our snowdrops at first glance Keith. Soon to be dispelled of course :) Another great set from you and when you do close-up -you mean it! Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

They're easily mistaken for one another Herb...........but once you see the differences it's easier.

Glad you like these and thanks for your very kind comments.

These are simply stunning Keith. I love these snowdrops whereby the edges of the petals have a green splodge on the white. So pretty.
