Snowdrops


It rains cats and dogs and then again cats and dogs, everything is water-logged, the little stream became a torrent, and still the Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) go on flowering as if things are as usual and as if floating is their normal way of life.






In fect, maybe there is nothing unusual, this small stream is flooding nearly every year, and the Snowdrops go on flowering abindantly.
