Beautiful focus on this pure white beauty Joyce. Amazing that you found this spring flower bloom so early in the year :-)

Oh my goodness, I love how you made the soft vignette, Joyce, to drive home the feel of dryness and dustiness. Those little blossoms are so delicate and beautiful, popping up amongst all that dry dirt...amazing! Great capture! L
Angela Davies

Joyce Dickens replied:
Lianne, I have been watching the weather reports for the entire east and I am amazed at the intense cold and blizzard conditions in so many states.....it was much cooler here today than it has been all week and we have a strong north wind blowing....I never made it outside today....thank you sweetheart for your awesome appreciation! xoxo

Pure clarity of pure white beauty, with a nice framing of blur around the edges, Joyce! What a fine piece of artwork for me to proudly display on our Featured Artwork section of our Homepage, within our family of friends and fine artists, in our Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery group. It is truly an honor to showcase your talents and beautiful artworks within our site, as our members get more promotion than in most groups, as I change out our Featured Artworks section 20 to 30 images at a time, and almost on a daily basis. I also change out our Top FEATURED artists weekly. I am proud to display this fine piece of beauty you have created for us to enjoy and share with others. LIKED and FAVED Forever, Elvis

Those little shining flowers seem to be almost growing out of my screen Joyce! What a perfect moment of pre-Spring magic you have captured here.L/F
Joyce Dickens replied:
Hi Jane, a very nice surprise, though I am sure we will still have many freezes as we normally have our last one around the first week in April....so pleased you are enjoying my little paper-whites my sweet friend!

Hi Sharon, one year I actually had a couple of iris bloom in December.....that was a long time ago though.....very out of the ordinary for this time of year....a lovely little surprise when I walked out to the garden...so happy to see your beautiful smiling face sweetheart! :-)
