Spring is here!
For those who aren't familiar with snow drops, they are very small flowers, about 3 inches high. They bloom very early, even through snow. We don't have any snow now, and the weather is very warm for February. I was out raking yesterday when I saw these. Two days before they were no where to be seen!
For more close ups, visit Macro Monday at Lisa's Chaos, and to see many things yellow (see that little bit of yellow in the left hand flower?) drop by Mellow Yellow Monday.

I love the snow drops, and what a perfect name too. Beautiful photo, glad you spotted them!
Wonderful macro!
I've seen snowdrops in a few blogs the past couple of days. I don't have any and I think I should. Lovely little blooms.
Out raking - can't believe I'm going to say this - lucky you!:)
Mine’s here: Carletta’s Captures.
Congratulations on seeing these beautiful flowers - we are covered in ice and snow and they are no where to be found.
Love the name and the flower! Delicate and beautiful!
the pull of life...spring returns, slowly but surely, cell by cell...
Beautiful! I hope we get some early spring blooms soon.
Bring on the spring flowers. Very pretty and delicate.
Those are too precious. It doesn't get cold enough here, so the only way I can see these is in photos!
We have that kind of flower too. So the name is snow drops that is a very pretty name. Can't wait for the snow to melt down so I could roam around and see flowers sprouting around. Happy Monday!

Oh thanks for telling me about this post today.
There is hope on the horizon. :) Seeing new growth
Thank you for sharing your snow drops. We only have feet of snow on the ground, so your beautiful photo is a real treat.

Very lovely flowers.
Excellent view of a special little flower! You have to be looking all around to spot those...they tend to hide sometimes!
Hey...I thought YOUR idea for a 'Fences of life" or- something of the sort- photo meme would be great!!! GO FOR IT!!!

God bless your heart!
oh dimple..what a sight for winter worn eyes!
you know, in southern ontario, snow drops and crocuses walk hand in hand, and what a a lovely sight they are when they pop their brave little heads up even through the snow.
bernie and i planted some this fall and after seeing yours here, we will keep our eyes open for their arrival!...so, so nice dimple!..love terry
"When the snow drops flower, can spring be far away?"
In spite of their uniform white color, they are not boring neither in reality nor in pictures. On the contrary.
Hi! Thanks so much for your comments! You've got the first Spring signs I can see.. wonderful snow drops! March is the month of the Spring, but we haven't got any Spring sign here yet.. except from the sun heathing up the snow and ice.. :))Have a nice time! :)
I have yet to see any of these as yet... they always cheer me up as I know that spring and all it brings is not far behind..
Nice to see your name in my comment tonight... thank you.
I am feeling a tad jealous! But who know, maybe the snow here in Ontario will melt this weekend!
The snowdrops are wonderful!
I would love to grow this in my yard! It would be wonderful to see in February..
Such a lovely photo of snowdrops. Of course since we have a hot climate, we never get to see such flowers in this part of the world. I do appreciate the lovely photos you post on your blog.
Thanks too for visiting my blog the other day. I truly appreciate it.
Love
