crocus

The crocuses seem to have taken a bit of a battering in the storms lately, but I found a couple that were still intact. Sadly no purple ones, as they seemed to be in a worse state than these golden yellow ones. At a bit of an angle but standing up to the storm Not…… Continue reading Crocus

Nature’s Strength

The strength of nature always surprises me. No matter how dark and cold the winter gets, spring always comes. Sometimes its a little later than usual, but still it comes. Spring makes me feel hopeful. After the darkness comes light, after the cold comes warmth, after the emptiness comes an abundance of life. No matter…… Continue reading Nature’s Strength

Crocuses (Croci?)

Crocuses are emerging at the moment. We don’t seem to have any golden ones around this year. But I think I like these purple ones best anyway.

Spring approaches

I dare to dream that spring may soon be here. I dream of an end to cold mornings, an end to hand’s skin dried out by the weather, an end to layers and layers and still feeling chilly.

Golden Crocus

This photo was taken last weekend when there was some lovely sunshine. I was so pleased to find some Crocuses opening up with a promise of spring. The combination of the golden colour of the Crocus with the warm spring sunshine made it glow beautifully.

First Crocus

At the weekend I was pleased to find some Crocuses emerging. This yellow one was just peeking up out of the grass at the base of a hedge. I hope to see it open next time I walk that way 🙂
