Snowdrops in the cemetery at Bourne, Lincolnshire

Amid the dead springs new life as snowdrops colonise the ground around their last resting place. Patches of them can be found around the town cemetery in South Road, Bourne, where conditions are conducive to their growth and so they soon spread between the graves and beneath the trees. Those who are buried here are now long forgotten and the delicate flowers that bloom around their tombstones are a reminder of the fragile hold we all have on life.
