Here it is. This photo required two weeks of preparation, about 10 miles of wandering and a big slice of good meteorological luck. "Snowdrops in the Snow". The first thing I needed was to find a snowdrop wood, monitor how quickly the flowers were coming on and go back on a day they would all be ready for their photo to be taken. Getting snow as well is asking rather allot! This photo is hard to get simply because settled snow in February is quite rare (despite the last two winters having snowy Februarys) and wild snowdrops are few and far between. Here are a couple more photos just because.
The location of these snowdrops can be seen as the camera icon on this map.
I was quite lucky to be back down in Leicester with these snowdrops during this snowfall despite being up at the in-laws in Nottinghamshire all week. Whilst there I did spot one group of snowdrops that could have potentially been the subjects of these photos but alas the few times it did snow it did not stay around long enough for me to get to them with the camera. I did get some good snowdrops in the sunshine shots however.
Here is a map showing where I found these. Again the camera symbol represents where the photos were taken.
