Eyes towards the world!
Pansies are peeking out of the snow on the first days of January.
Pansies are among the first plants to make their appearance in spring but I took these photos on the 4th of January.
Look at these little beauties, they are still covered in flowers under the snow!
Pansies can tolerate the light snow we had till now, they seem to be no weaklings in the winter.
Look at these eyes towards the world!
They look so fresh and their colors are more vibrant as in summer. They like the cool, moist weather of this mild winter.
Green leaves of grass are sticking out through the snow as well.
After a period of long, gray winter days we are all a bit desperate for sunlight and a splash of spring color.

Those pansies are intrepid. The first shot suggests to me a mask with the flowers forming the eyes.
Violet eyes peeking through the snow! An amazing shot.
Ah! This is a wonderful post, pansies triumphant over snow! LOL
I wish pansies overwintered here in Ontario. Just a tad bit too cold here, I'm afraid.
The top photo is wonderful! The pansies peeking out look like eyes. I'm trying to figure out the perfect pansy planting time in Denver. If I wait too long, they can't bear the heat.
Love that second photo! Awesome...

Lovely shots!
I love the pansey eyes - clever shot!
This is wonderful - especially the close up!
This could be an advertising poster or card - "Perseverance!" (achieving something despite the obstacles - like blossoming flowers in the snow)

I loved the color contrast. very nice post.
I love this photo! So heartwarming to see a delicate flower push it's way through the snow! Nature is amazing!
Great pictures! Pansies remind us that spring awaits, just under the snow...
What a lovely find! Pansies are tough customers amd very resilient.
What an amazing sight to see flowers in the snow! WSuch a bright contrast! Beautiful photos!
That shot of color is such a mood booster on a cold winter day.
Those are great pictures! I love winter pansies and nearly always plant some. They are cheerful!
Those are just stunning!!
How pretty! I love when flowers peek through snow, it just is so pretty!
Good photos. The first image is a wonderful composition. I think it would be even better with a crop to a square format. Crop out the right portion maybe?
A little touch of color in the stark white snow, how beautiful. After I read Sandy's remark about the first photo I looked at it again. It does remind me of a mask, wonderful shots.
