Discovering the snowdrop meadow

Apologies if you saw this yesterday, I accidentally published it early in a fit of enthusiasm!
While out enjoying the sunshine at the weekend we discovered an amazing snowdrop and aconite meadow. It spilled out from a churchyard into distinctly private property so we enjoyed the view and marvelled at the quantity of wild flowers in bloom. It had a magical feel to the place; as if there were thousands of snow white bells were ringing at an imperceptible frequency yet filling the air with a feeling nevertheless. I'm sure I've heard that snowdrops have a scent too but honestly I cannot pick up a thing so I can only conclude they either don't, they only have a scent at a certain part of the day or I am immune to detecting it altogether.



See the bee?

Aren't they beautiful?
Take care,
