Something has had a good old nibble on those ivy leaves, providing must needed food in the depths of winter.

These look pretty – I might go and get some snowdrops from our garden once this morning’s frost has gone.

Yes, it’s a bit chilly out there isn’t it.
Snowdrops are so perky. 🙂

Love the backdrop of the trees behind your vases. The wild ivy and its berries makes a strong contrast to those delicate snowdrops.

The trees definitely show the season don’t they. 🙂

The berries look untouched though… don’t know what would eat them. Glad your snowdrops are unnibbled. 😃

Google tells me that blackbirds and thrushes eat the berries. I will have to watch out for them.

The ivy berries appear black, making a wonderful contrast to the snowdrops, Sandra. Our ivy is regularly hacked back by the gardeners so I seldom see berries but that’s probably a good thing as ivy is invasive here.

Yes the berries are black – yummy for the birds in winter.

I love ivy berries, Sandra, so it’s good to see them supporting your snowdrops – and good to see you on IAVOM today 👍 I promise to email or message you once our opening is out of the way and I have more time…
