The Second Flowers of Spring

After the snowdrops come the crocuses although we didn't expect to find them so soon. It is that kind of a year, though.

Returning to a spot by an abandoned building that we found in recent years. some were already in bloom. I only have one photo, as I was having trouble with both my tripod and the wind. I may try again in due course, but if I don't manage to do that, at least I have this pretty, little cluster.


Meanwhile, I found another snowdrop photo from the previous shoot that I didn't post last time, so I'll post that too.

  4. My daughter's house has a great southern exposure so she has crocus blooming. Mine are just poking through the ground.

  7. Your crocuses are way more open than mine! There is going to be sun for the next few days so perhaps that will help.

    That doesn't compute, but we are way ahead of schedule.

    I shot some from the same area on April 12 last year.

  13. Both the crocuses and the snowdrops are beautiful.
    We have also arrived at the crocuses here. Today I saw the first flower stalks of the daffodils... but it will take a while for them to bloom.
    A hug from me for both of you.

  14. Tu vista permanece atenta a todo aquello que vive delante de tus ojos. Los azafranes son una hermosura y las campanillas son tan sensuales....

  17. This is so beautiful. I always looked forward to seeing the crocuses in spring. We didn't have snowdrops though. I wish we did.
