Into the New Year

It's 9.30a.m. in the morning on New Year's Day.  The sun is gently lighting the house roofs and upstairs windows on one side of the street and the sky is showing several shades of blue. The weather is mild and has been for a few days.  No wonder the little beauty below is slightly confused.

I took this photo a few days before Christmas but thought I'd save it for today as for me snowdrops are a sign of peace and hope.

Best wishes to everyone for the New Year.

  1. Thank you and best wishes to you too for a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year.

    A lovely photo - I must go in search for Snowdrops soon. Garden ones are always late.

    1. Thank you RR. Happy New Year to you too. The snowdrop was almost hidden under a copper beech tree at Trentham Gardens the week before Christmas. We have little shoots where the snowdrops should be but next door to them the winter acconite bulbs we planted have all been taken by the squirrels even though they were covered over with an old oven shelf held down with tent pegs! :( :)

  2. Happy New Year to you too Rosie! I'll have to venture out of my front door and see if the snowdrops are making an appearance. A welcome blue sky and a little watery sunshine today after two weeks of dark grey and dismal! May the new year continue on with this positive vibe! Have a lovely weekend. x

  4. Happy New Year to you and yours too. Weather has been confusing here too with a cool & wet Spring, then overcast & dry in November & early December and now extreme heat with the thought of bushfires in the back of our mind due to all the lush growth from a wet spring drying out fast. Hopefully 2022 will stabilise in weather & the pandemic so we can have less stressful year. Take care & hugs.

    1. Thank you Susan. Happy New Year to you too. The weather is still very warm for this time of year. Sorry to hear about your extreme heat, I hope the bushfires don't happen. I was so sad to see reports of them last year and the year before. Let's hope for a better, more positive year ahead. Take care:)

    1. Thank you B, Happy New Year to you too. I saw some bunches of daffodils outside a flower shop just before Christmas, I guess from the Scilly Isles perhaps? I haven't spotted any daffodil shoots in the garden yet, there are some 'Tete-a-Tete' somewhere out there:)

    1. Thank you Kestrel, hope and peace are good. The pure white of the flowers are hard to capture in a photo, we have had snow flakes here today:)

  10. Well that's exciting to have something growing this time of the year, but I hope it doesn't ruin it. Perhaps it popping up will give us hope for a better New Year. I sure hope so.
