A while ago I was laying on my belly on our lawn with cell phone in hand.
Was capturing the daffodils in bloom on their level. I say a while ago since they have come and gone and we have since mowed several times. Loved the sun flare I got with the farm behind things in this particular photo.
I am one of the few crazy people I know who grow daffodils in her lawn. I thought they would look cool under the apple trees in full bloom, but they kinda miss each other a bit. Before I know it we are mowing and my blooms are hanging out in a vase in the house. Hence a photo or two and then a page.
And another photo for Lizzy Hill in Australia as I believe she shares my fondness for these blooms!
The journaling on my photo was inspired by a Crosby Still Nash and Young song. It reminded me of how I felt that moment on my belly with the grass tickling my nose. Ready to Carry On with Spring!
Here is a close up of the funny little green key I made! Tim Holtz makes the coolest things for us to fix up our own way!
Happy Hump Day peeps! We're creeping towards our long weekend now...
Your daffodils reminded me of a poem by William Wordsworth that I read in junior school :) Lovely page and quote!

ReplyDeleteI don't have to tell you how wonderful it is to see your yard of GREEN and NOT white!!! When I read this and visualized you laying out in the vast acreage of your lawn, on your belly, to snap a photo of this beautiful flower, it seemed so right. Of course you did and of course it's a superb shot. Love the shimmer in the image too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectacular photo and a beautiful page! Daffodils are such a joyful sign of spring! Thanks for the tunes, too! Love that song!
ReplyDeleteOh this is gorgeous! I love the inky doily and the picture is amazing! The perspective of the close up photo is wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteWe have a few crocus in our yard that poke through the snow every year in late winter. Amazing how that little splash of color brings happiness!
