Today we nipped into our local town centre and visited most of the charity shops. We came home with toys and books and a new stripy cardigan for D. In one book titled 'A Victorian Posy' which is a collection of verse and prose about flowers, i came across a beautiful painting of snowdrops and so i came online to find out more about Albert Durer Lucas, the artist who painted it. Unfortunately the painting is nowhere to be found online but his other work is just beautiful. In fact, i found it so incredible that my body warmed up and i felt so full of emotion that i could almost hear my heart thumping in my chest. Just take a look at his work.
Whilst browsing snowdrop artwork i also really liked these...
I have always struggled to photograph snowdrops and have never been fortunate enough to see a whole patch of grassland devoted to them. I'm hoping that perhaps next month we can go and visit some woodland with a beautiful white spread of them, il be using this site (which i also mentioned last year here) to find somewhere.
Whilst browsing for art i found these sites which i would definitely like to visit again:

Loved this post, Aqeela. All of the pieces are beautiful. This is what Gladys Taber writes about snowdrops in her book StillMeadow Sampler: "Possibly, I thought as I set the miniature bouquet on the old trestle table, possibly God knows that if spring came all at once, we should die of it. So the fairy-sized bells ring a chime to make it possible to bear the beauty that will come in May."
I especially loved the print "Wrens and Snowdrops". Wrens are dear to me.
