February Snowdrops
Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 25 February 2009 in Plant & Nature.
There are snowdrops flowering all round the woods now, these were photographed at a lake called Carsington Water.

Really beautiful Richard, Love the light and the way they are clustered together.
my aunt visits Carsington water often and say's what nice place it is, perhaps I should visit there myself :)

@MaryB: Thanks Mary. It is a great place to visit, lots of rare water birds, a fantastic walk (but a very long one if you go all the way round), and some very pretty views. I hope you get a chance to visit it.

Great deep rich colours contrasted by such green and white. It must be a welcoming sight.

Looks like the sun shone directly on it, even though all around it is in shadow. Very nice.
