Not what you were expecting?If you are a regular visitor you will no doubt be wincing at the bad pun. Well it's your own fault you asked me to start blogging again. If you have wandered here looking for gardening tips like say, when is the best time to plant your snowdrop bulbs ( I presume bulbs as opposed to seeds, but I'm sure some green fingered enthusiast who has wandered here will let you know) then sadly you are most definitely in the wrong place. Nah, that above is a little slice of creative photography representing my weird little part of the planet. I honestly didn't gather clumps of snow and place them strategically amongst the bare twigs. I'm not that dedicated to the blog. No. I came across this lucky image out and about with the camera, on our one and only snowy day (and yes you are going to see a lot of those images because I'm sick of rainy day ones) and just couldn't resist capturing it, against that palest of cool blue skies. Simple as that.
I love it. All sorts of people are being creative with My World today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Now you may find this hard to believe, but there are one or two of us who haven't actually seen the white stuff in the flesh so to speak, so even if there'd been little white elephants in the plant, we'd have hung on to your every word if you if you said they were real!

Never seen snnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooow. Poor deprived you. I coud say the ame about the sunshine here. No white elephants but maybe the escaped wallaby hiding behind the bushes. It's all true you know.
ReplyDeletehallo from germany
ReplyDeletesnow ?
only good for one day !!
lol ;-)
What wonderful little white cups. I wonder what enchanting elixir we could sip from them. Just as long as it isn't yellow snow.
ReplyDeleteGood shot. Add me to the list of those who have rarely seen snow.

I love that shot. Nice fluffy snow if only for a day. I laughed at your discussing the title and who it might bring to your blog. I had a title to a post on one of my blogs saying, Lion's and Tigers and Bears. Let me say it brought people looking for the Wizard of Oz.
ReplyDeleteI love your shot! It's really beautiful -- nature at her most creative and while I'm sure you're really tired of the cold and the snow, you showed it at it's best! Hope you stay warm, have a nice hot drink and think about summer!!

I just got it. Snow drops! Clever.
ReplyDeleteThese look like cotton balls waiting to be picked.
ReplyDeleteThey almost look like white roses! Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is a-bloom with snow, by golly! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat winter shot and I love the heading too!
ReplyDeletenice...we had some pretty big snow drops a few weeks back.
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back M'lady.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture. In our country the snow is washed away by the rain. Looks all dreary and wet now.
ReplyDeleteSnow is the photographer's friend. The Snow gods blessed me with snow in Birmingham and in Paris this year. This is a gorgeous shot B. Take em while you can!

Very nice. Looks like you managed to take the photo before the wind arrived.

Babooshka: What a beautiful capture, the Queen Anne Lace did a wonderful job of capturing the snow.
ReplyDelete«Louis» also thought the image was of cotton balls. A childhood in the Texas panhandle will do that to you...
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like cotton balls. A major crop here in California. At least it was until we ran out of water.
ReplyDeleteso glad you grew these snowdrops yourself. About time to harvest and can, don't you think? Serve with cranberries -:)
ReplyDeleteAlways pleasant visiting your page! lol @Chuck!
ReplyDeleteDoesnt the snow just make everything seem like a fairy land. Gorgeous photo.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed by how much snow these little branches can hold.
really creative and amazing shot :)
ReplyDeleteLike like your shot, also the title goes well.
ReplyDeleteHey, welcome back! Very nice snowdrops!
ReplyDeletei think these are fab myself...almost cotton-ball-ish looking.
ReplyDeletehave a gret rest of the week.
Hello Babooshka, these snow flowers are cute and unusual but I hope they will wither quickly and the sun will be back in your part of the world. I personally don't like cold weather.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. They look like flowers of snow.
ReplyDeleteSoooo... a snowdrop is a flower I take it?
ReplyDeleteThese actually do favor a flower of some sort. A keen eye as always Babs.
I'm with Sandy, I'm always amazed at how much snow a twig/branch can support. And I'll also second her on the "glad you're back".
Beautiful! It looks like a cotton plant.
ReplyDeleteThe shot kind of looks like our deep south cotton plants...minus the snow on the ground. Very cool image!!
