I've been trying to grow a patch of scillas in my back lawn, and they are starting to fill in quite nicely. I shot the Easter photos in it, and yesterday I photographed a couple of fairies. I figured with bad weather in the forecast, I didn't know if they'd survive. And even if they did, scillas just keep getting taller and taller until their leaves totally hide the flowers. Although by that time the flowers are too tall scale-wise for doll photos anyways.
So even though it was very cold yesterday afternoon, I took out three little fairies.
First, Mini Hope with Winston....

Then Raillie and Little Lenny with a unicorn....
It was very cold and windy, and already starting to spit while I was taking the photos, so I decided that was enough for the day. Less than an hour later, the snow hit....
It was coming down hard, and my Scilla patch disappeared. It's that darker patch in the lawn.....
Thankfully spring flowers can handle a bit of crazy weather, and this morning most of the snow had melted, although many of the flowers and leaves were still covered in ice...
By this afternoon the scilla patch looked almost completely untouched. So hopefully, I can get back to taking photos in it again tomorrow.
