Inundations


After lots of rain this winter little streamlets are brimming over, and this small wooded valley is completely inundated.


The new white-speckled leaves of the Italian Arum (Arum italicum) are flooded.

















And also the Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis).
















But all will survive, in a few days or weeks the water will retire and everything goes back to normal.

The first one of this year! In Trémolat, on a rather steep hill. It is really early, this Common Primrose (Primula vulgaris).
