Pictures for Pam, Day 117: Snow Flakes


(+2 insets!)
Today I woke up to more rain and dreary weather but I didn't care! Steve and I are so excited about our new RV that no amount of cold and rain can ruin our moods. :)
Pumpkin and I hopped into the shower where we whistled and sang to each other as she watched me from her perch. When we got out, I held her up to my face--touching my lips to her beak--closed my eyes and whistled softly to her. She whistled right back and I could feel tiny puffs of her warm sweet breath as she sang to me. My heart threatens to burst with the love I feel for that darling, amazing little girl. How lucky we are to have her in our lives!
As I've been commenting on pictures over the past week, I keep running into images of Pam's favorite flower, Snow Drops! Every time I see them, I am reminded of our trip down to San Anselmo back at the beginning of the year. While I was wandering around Nathalie's property I noticed a small, white, spike of flowers that was growing low to the ground. The second I got close enough I recognized them! SNOW DROPS! I'd never seen these in person before so you can imagine how excited I was. However, there was something not quite right about that flower...it didn't look exactly like the Snow Drops I'd seen before. I would need to investigate.
I'd planned to process the pretty little white flower image right away. However, you know how things go sometimes. I got distracted by other pictures and time passed. Today though, I was bound and determined...and huzzah, it's now my picture of the day!!
Before posting, I wanted to make sure this flower was named correctly...and after comparing mine to a Snow Drop, I could see that it definitely wasn't one. Diminutive, white, green spots, but this little flower is a Snow FLAKE, not a Snow DROP. I found a nice page that showed and explained the difference.
I am also including two more pictures from San Anselmo as insets. One of them shows some pretty Alyssum flowers that were growing on Nathalie's back patio (Do you see the little ant visitor?!). The other one was from our first hike and shows the remnants of a kind of wild grass called "Rattlesnake Grass." The seed casings on this grass actually SOUND like a rattlesnake if you shake the stems of several of them!
Well Pam, I’m still hoping to find a real Snow Drop for you but I hope that this Snow Flake will make you happy too! I looked on your page for a picture of one of yours and found this little beauty to appreciate. They are so lovely. I hope that you are having a good day! Many hugs from southern Oregon!

Schönen Tag für Dich
GORGEOUS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT
I thought your flowers looked unusual with the tiny green spots. I thought to myself...I have never seen snowdrops like that before. And now I know......Snowflakes :-)) Beautiful.
The PiP of the Alyssum is really beautiful, especially the out-of-focus background!
The PiP of the Rattlesnake Grass is just WOW! Spot on focus and depth of field. Such delicate beauty..!!
As for the white flowers - great picture - very similar to a bush I have here, but yet different (if you know what I mean!) I've not heard of a Rattlesnake Grass neither - there again you do have different flowers over the pond!!
I'm so pleased for you and Steve being so excited about the new addition to the family which is going to take you both to wonderful places and we here are going to be blessed with seeing your amazing photos.
