I can't remember how deep it was, Phil. This was February 2007. I will post two more photos taken that day

And a very Happy Christmas to everyone on the forum from George and family in Ireland. So far, no sign of a White Christmas  :)

Peace on earth and goodwill to all men

Had to study your pic for a while Eric, the flowers looked like mini daffs but then I realised is was Jasminun nudiflorum (I think). Merry Christmas to everyone on the forum and a happy gardening year. I'm already looking forward to spring and to seeing the results of my planting changes.

You are quite right, Brian. A bit more recognisable here

Beautiful! Isnt it amazing how pristine those flowers are in such inclement conditions. Its a very valuable plant to offer cheer in the dead of winter! I have one on my front wall, and it peeps up and over the wall to cheer passers by.
Great photos Eric! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing quality Eric, and you are have a very apt description - natures pearls and diamonds.
How did you manage to get such perfect focusing? How did you keep warm enough to stop camera shake ;D

I used automatic focus George but just with one central focusing point. I focused precisely on one of the gleaming jewels, kept the button half pressed then recomposed the picture.

Thanks for that tip Eric. You certainly are very skilled in using and getting the best from that camera.
