singularly moved



the appearance of this solitary january flower in my garden shouldn't have surprised me: it is winter jasmine, after all.
and it isn't really MINE, either, having escaped from my neighbour's side of the fence to emerge among my ivy and my snowflakes.
but i love surprises, and, as you may have noticed, there is not much that pleases me more than a splash of unexpected colour as a reward for eyes kept open.

  1. Looks like they sprouted straight from the snow.

  2. Wow, that's snow? It's so light it looks like cotton! What a beautiful shot, at any rate. I love how the white rests so peacefully on top of the delicate flowers. Fantastic shot.
