Imbolc! Spring is here finally. Lots of snowdrops looking great right now, if only the rain would stop! It did for a few hours today - just enough to get out with the camera.

You can see the evenings lengthen now! Yesterday's evening light was great for capturing these snowdrops. Lots more coming along nicely!

It's March 1st and the first day of meterological spring here in Le Jardin. Lots of flowers and loads of colour in the garden as the weather gets milder and the days lengthen.

The martagon lilies have loved the cool and damp weather this 'summer'. They've all but gone over now at this stage but the asiatics and trumpets are starting to flower as the next lily 'wave' begins!
