Snowdrops

There had to be at least one snowdrop picture in my journal at some time, but which one to choose, the one with the buds fully in focus or the one with the flowers fully in focus?

The sun is shining, although the frost is still on the ground at lunch time, but I found two hibernating ladybirds, one was inside a decayed Rose of Sharon flower, this seems to be a popular spot for them; see it here if you are interested.

The Thrushes and Redwings have been busy eating the red berries, but they do not make a good picture, even though there were between twenty and thirty in the tree at the same time. The smaller birds are also busy on the feeders, stocking up with food for another cold night I think.
