Beautiful capture of the Snowdros! :-) I think I see your reflection in one of them. Looks like you almost had another self portrait Alandra. I believe I can at least see those big old hands...lol. I hope than brings you a smile :-) Don

happy you all like it, thanks Lorraine, Steve, Carol and Golda. Snowdrops have a special meaning for me, - from childhood days in hosp with pneumonia, my grandma brought me snowdrops, but the vase somehow got tipped over. Wrote notes each day to my mum, who would read the notes when she visited :) and I told her all about the accident with the snowdrops, but in my childish printing, - put "snowdros", leaving the letter P out. So always think of them as "snowdros"

I love snow drops, but the rain drops on them just make this a fantastic shot.

thanks Mary, noticed these were "opened" as the sun had been shining on them, as we entered the patio yesterday after being out, so got the camera and went back out to capture these images.Haven't used the extension tubes much so far, so it was a good chance to try them out.
