We had a few days of spring, so I took advantage of the opportunity to capture the mandatory photos of snowbells. As one of the first flowers of spring, they symbolize new beginnings, hope, rebirth, and the ability to overcome challenges. The sight of these delicate blooms filled me with hope and positivity.
However, nature had a surprise in store for us – a fresh coat of snow arrived just two days ago. Despite the unexpected turn of events, I seized the opportunity to capture the enchanting snow-covered landscape. It’s fascinating how the same scene can take on a different, yet equally captivating, appearance with a layer of snow.
As I’m writing this, a snow blizzard rages outside. While witnessing a snow blizzard at this time of year wasn’t what I had in mind, it’s a poignant reminder of nature’s unpredictability and the beauty it holds, even in the midst of unexpected circumstances.

Terrific close ups of these snow drops for the week 😀 😀
Thanks Cee !
What a lovely series of images. I hope the snow blizzard goes away just as quickly as it arrived. So many locations around the world are having unseasonal weather, but I don’t envy you blizzards.
I hope you keep safe and warm indoors and have plenty of food supplies and heating in case the blizzard doesn’t clear soon.
It was for couple day, and we were not in any danger - snow is not and event in Finland, but at this time of the year it is not welcomed at all.
How poetic – Snowdrops on Snow!
Yes they do look pretty against the sparkle of the snow
