105/365: "Beauty is a fragile gift." ~ Ovid


We have had extremely crazy weather today, ranging from sunny and breezy to stormy with incredible wind and showers including hail! WOW! I waited all day for the right opportunity to go out, and finally I noticed that the wind had calmed a bit and the sun was out momentarily. I went to our garden and stood for a moment, appreciating the wonderful show that was finally coming to an end. Along with all the daffodils and jonquils that bloom faithfully every year since we moved in, I planted dozens of mixed daffodil bulbs (and others) last fall. So many lovely flowers to enjoy, so many kinds! It was great to see these bright and cheery blossoms, and also a joy to come home from my visit to San Francisco and discover that a few had waited for my return before taking a final bow.
The timing could not have been better, with the sun low in the sky, glowing so warmly through the petals. I selected this pair as my favorites and this was my first picture of about a dozen. I think it's interesting that often, my first picture is also the best of the group! I sure do hope you're not all tired of these daffodil pictures, I have yet to show off some of the amazing pictures I got on Daffodil Hill! As well, I have a textured image of the white daffodil in this picture, it's just such a stunning flower! I'll show that in a few days! :)
Publius Ovidius Naso (20 March 43 BC – AD 17/18), known as Ovid in the English-speaking world, was a Roman poet who is best known as the author of the three major collections of poetry, the Heroides, Amores and Ars Amatoria, and of the Metamorphoses, a mythological hexameter poem. He is also well known for the Fasti, about the Roman calendar, and the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto, two collections of poems written in exile on the Black Sea. Ovid was also the author of several smaller pieces, the Remedia Amoris, the Medicamina Faciei Femineae, and the long curse-poem Ibis. He also wrote a lost tragedy, Medea. He is considered a master of the elegiac couplet, and is traditionally ranked alongside Virgil and Horace as one of the three canonic poets of Latin literature. The scholar Quintilian considered him the last of the canonical Latin love elegists. His poetry, much imitated during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, greatly influenced European art and literature and remains as one of the most important sources of classical mythology.
