Winter has been mild so far this year in Ireland, we haven't yet seen the snow and cold temperatures of early 2018; trees, shrubs and flowers that don't normally show much signs of spring growth are now sprouting and flowering.
Here, plenty of colour from crocus flowers seen with raindrops after a little rain.
Despite it still actually being winter, these flowers are providing a colourful addition to the Irish countryside.
It's a time of year full of inspiration as nature slowly returns to brighten up Ireland.
