Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, for Christians around the world. As I was leaving the Service of Communion at my church, I spotted a few Lenten Roses that had started blooming, despite the cold and snow we've had in recent weeks. What a wonderful reminder that spring is on its way. (I apologize to the pansies I stepped all over trying to get a few shots!)

Beautiful image of the Lenten Rose, Virginia.
Congratulations on your spot at B-Metro!
belle photo d'espoir ;o)
A beautiful shot of a gorgeous flower. I've tried growing them here with no success.
Well done indeed and well deserved - your success in being featured on B-Metro. Bravo!
Love the new header! A stunner.
Hello!
A beautiful flower, great photo!

Congratulations are in order!
cool shot
The sight of this warms my heart (though my toes remains cold).
Flowers popping up everywhere it seems.
b metro seems to know exactly what to do to get new readers...
I will keep my eyes out this weekend for some early bloomers. Haven't seen much around here lately but white and brown though.
Congrats!! I love the ice shot in your banner too.
Gosh, that's breathtaking.
Fabulous! And I am hoping that we dont get snow next Monday .. I want spring and I want it now!
Thanks everyone. Ever try to photograph a Lenten Rose without an assistant? They grow with their heads bowed. I had to try and hold it up with one hand and shoot with other!
Holy cow! I know a celebrity! The photo is a wonderful harbinger of spring, but it is so nice that you have been recognized for your photography (and I think, also, for your community activities)!
Lovely, V. Congratulations on your celebrity status!
Word Verifications suggest that you "revel" in your fame -:)
Kudos Virginia!!!
Lovely orchid color. Had not heard of Lenten Roses. And congrats on your photos!
