I love snowdrops. They're so pretty. Although I seem to see them less than when I was a child, almost a lifetime ago.

Hi Blakbird,
I'm lucky to be close to woodlands where I live, so it encourages me to grab my camera gear and go walking. Nature is stirring now, I also saw some 'Scarlet Elf Cup (fungi.)' scattered about the woodland floor, more signs of spring.

Yes please!

Hi Levina, I know we're only just coming into February, but it feels good to see nature already at work.

Yes, it does feel good, Mac. Days are getting noticeably longer too now. I always dread November and December. No winter any more, just grey, dark and wet. And depressing. So I'm happy we're almost in February now.

Hi Blackbird, Thank You. We're lucky to see these now, they're a hardy plant.

That's lovely.

Hi John,
Both these and daisies (both small white flowers) seem so delicate yet will show themselves throughout our winter.
