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.

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 matterContinue 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.

Soft Yellow
On a walk yesterday I took yet more photos of the Crocuses. I like how this one has come out so soft, yet is focused on the petals where I wanted it to be. I noticed later while processing, that there is a little creature in the top right of the photo – perhaps aContinue reading “Soft Yellow”
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 🙂
