daffodils on tuesday

flowers in april
though not yet for the outdoors
bring spring in sooner

daffodils in a vase

late day sun beaming
through the glass panes and petals
makes moments linger…

daffodil up close

sun setting quickly
but daffodils still beaming
one moment longer.

(hehe, i haiku’d you :-) these daffodils were purchased in support of the canadian cancer society. i hope your tuesday was a happy one!)

    aren’t those the most hopeful flowers in this world? I can’t wait to see them popping up from the ground.

    pretty! daffodils are one of my favourite flowers (though it’s really so hard to choose just one). they were selling them outside metro here too… next time I go I’ll have to make sure I have some change, I could really use a spot of brightness! :)

    Ack! I’ve been haiku’d! lol Love it! Love daffodils, too. They practically shine with a light of their own.

    Daffydowndilly

    She wore her yellow sunbonnet
    She wore her greenest gown
    She turned to the west wind
    and curtsied up and down

    She turned to the bright sun
    and shook her yellow head
    and whispered to her neighbor:
    “Winter is dead.”

  5. Beautiful flowers. I hope spring arrives outdoors for you soon.

    Loving the flowers and all the poetry!! So nourishing to my soul. :) I’ll have to show my 13 year old your haiku(s)- he loves writing them! Thanks for the sunshine, Ana!

    Your pictures are stunning, I love the way you have captured light glowing through the petals

    Few things are as cheerful as a daffodil – beautiful shots, ana! To think Napoleon’s soldiers carried daff bulbs with them into battle to speed up a fatal injury is pretty amazing… if it’s true. Not positive, but it makes for a good story. :)

    ann, i think i’ve heard that one now that you mention it. i’ve heard a few different stories and folklore about daffodils. i think i should gather them up together one day and see what more i can find out. so interesting, it’s obviously captured the imagination of others through the years…

    thanks for all the fabulous sharing everyone!
