So today we took a walk in the ByBrook valley, NE of Bath, and headed for a snowdrop hotspot. We were a bit early in the season for the full flourish, but these delicate white harbingers of spring still looked a picture.
Unusually, this is a large colony of this species growing in a semi-natural woodland on a very steep slope. Someone, a long time ago, must have planted a few and today there are hundreds.
Anyway, I donned my waterproof trousers (steady ladies) and got down and dirty for these pictures. I now appreciate the importance of a tripod.
They feel quite alpine-like when you look at the close-up - beautiful.
Looks like a good locality and an excellent lens - though I know from experience that you do spend a lot of time crawling around to get shots like these. I've just caught up with your last post too - brilliant. Hope I get something half as good when I go out tomorrow!
