A chance discovery this week. Early morning, a low winter sun with long deep shadows… and a very cold dawn.
I discovered the Churchyard of St. Bartholomew Church, Elvaston and its centuries old graveyard…. and the big surprise were the large areas of Snowdrops….
A winter surprise…. and despite a bright sun, the morning never seemed to wake up…
Keep warm this Winter…. Spring cannot be far away…
Till then always….
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

Snowdrops mean positive signs – but it is still really cold here it does feel like a long winter tbh
