Good morning GTers! It's like another world looking inside this #crocus 'Ard Schenk' bloom, don't you think? Have a fabulous Friday everyone, and keep warm! 😀 #macro #closeup #upclose

Thought you’d found something in the middle of your creme egg 🙊😁

@rachelbrooks - Hehe! Well Easter is just around the corner Rachel! 😀

Morning Ian, great shot 👍👍💛

@juliesgarden - Good morning Julie! Thank you! 😀

Morning Ian @bigemrg Brilliant shot although I’m with Rachel @rachelbrooks on this does look like a Cadbury’s cream egg 😂

@jadojado29 - Good morning Suzie! Thanks! Maybe I should get in touch with Cadbury's and see if I can put them into production for them! 😀

Mmm cream egg for breakfast 😋😋 @rachelbrooks

@pauline33 - I'd rather have fried eggs Pauline! 😁 Morning! 😀

Morning Ian, brilliant shot, even if it is of a cream egg!! 😂😂

@pelly - Hehe! Morning Jane! Thank you! 😀

@Jasonsparkes1 - Haha! Morning Jason! I thought it said Shrek when I bought them the other year, and wondered why they weren't green when they appeared! 😀

Good morning GTers! Was very pleased to see that my #crocus 'Ard Schenk' have returned! Love the blue patterning on the underside of their petals! Have a marvellous Monday everyone! 😀

Morning again Mr perfection love the detail 💙💛💟

@nessas - Thanks Vanessa, perfection indeed! It's all about the details! 😀

👍🏻👍🏻 really must learn how to use my camera this year 🙄🙄🤷‍♀️

@nessas - Careful! It can be quite addictive! 😀

Mmmm not wrong over 12,000 pics on phone need to do some deleting 😬😬🙄

@nessas - Wow! I take well over 10000 photos a year but am quite ruthless about how I cull them and usually end up with about 2500 annually! 😀

Morning Ian very pretty 💛💜💛

Nice one 💙💙 , have a good day Ian 👍

@Keely - Morning Keely! I think so too! 😀

@juliesgarden - Thanks Julie! You too! 😀

A cull is definitely needed 😬🙄 a job I really need to do then I need to see if I can get a cable that allows me to hook up my camera to my iPad 👍🏻if not might have to see if I can get a new camera for my birthday 🤭

Good afternoon all! My #crocus 'Ard Schenk' are looking particularly nice in the sunshine at the moment! 😀
