New life

Dickens Challenge Wk 1
Dickens Oliver Twist 2
'The sun,--the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man-' Dickens Oliver Twist.

Not much sun really just Storm Henry's wild wind but the warmer temperatures in the last couple of days have brought on the growth of these early crocus. They have been visible for most of January but the increased warmth and light have brought them into flower.

I think they fit this quote from Oliver Twist well - bringing new life and hope and freshness - to us all of a not too distant Spring to come.
