If there be Snowdrops....

...can Spring be far away? 
Possibly as it is still only half way through January. 
This afternoon we popped in to check out the snowdrops at Gargunnock House and were surprised to see that they were just beginning to flower. There were also a couple of early rhododendrons blooming too. The sun was shining from a clear blue sky and showed up some lovely patterns through the trees.
