Snowdrops 2024

We last visited this ancient cemetery in February 2021, when gardens that usually had snowdrops to visit were closed.  You can read about it here.  On the spur of the moment, making the most of a sunny morning we decided to head out again, so that I could get a snowdrop fix!  I do have a few snowdrops in the garden, but I love to see them in drifts.
There were lots of snowdrops and aconites and a few crocuses.
They were all enjoying the winter sunshine.
The trees made some lovely shadows too.
The tree bark was very textured.  There are London Plane trees, Sycamores and Limes here.
You can see the aconites better in this photo.
We were lucky that it was so quiet, with not many people about and we could enjoy the lovely birdsong as we wandered.
Just beautiful!
The blue sky was such a bonus and the tree branches made a wonderful tracery.
It isn't a very big space, but was a lovely place to spend some time with nature.

  1. What a lovely peaceful looking place to wander Ellie. The snowdrops look great - a good sign of spring not far away. And that blue sky - such a bonus. Enjoy your week Ellie x0x

    1. Thanks, Julie. It was very peaceful - particularly surprising being in the middle of a city. It was a nice way to spend an hour or so.
      Best wishes
      Ellie
