    Can always count on you for some beautiful photos. What's the flower in the first pic?

    Thank you Cherylad! My grandmother called it "Lily of the Valley"...I think it may be a "Snowdrop" or something similar.

    The photograph of the Snowdrop is really lovely. I always think of Snowdrops as the heralds of spring. :stew1:
