I will try jonquil (pale), but I fear that only their heads will look out (that's why branches work so well). It must be something that is not too rigid (to be true, that vase always reminds me a bit of an urn :-) Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-79595722142154964612016-02-27T19:11:43.062+00:002016-02-27T19:11:43.062+00:00They are lovely - the colouring in the small one i...They are lovely - the colouring in the small one is especially pleasing.

I often wonder that a camera can express different moods well - and especially if two photographers take a picture of one person or the same object how different the outcome can be.

I missed the moonlit January night (there weren't any snowdrops around), but I thought: "Well - why not now? Better than never" (often being more practical minded then nostalgic) - so I plucked yesterday night a few - in some moonlight! - on my balcony... :-) <br />And thanks for 'lacrima bianca' - added that to my newly learned vocabulary - mille grazie!
