These daffs are always the first to open. With their long trumpets and swept back petals, they herald a fast-approaching Spring.
Yes, I know it's too fast and these babies may have a freeze or snow ahead of them. But it doesn't stop me from feeling a surge of delight when first I see them.
Or from taking far too many pictures.
Only a few days ago I was taking pictures of moss--which has its charms-- but these shots of yellow are so nice to see.
Despite a plethora of crocus foliage, we have at present only this one modest bloom up here at the house. Too shady? In need of thinning? Probably.
