Our springs are often very rainy, and it's wonderful to sneak out between showers to get pictures of the flowers with droplets on them. Here are some jonquils drenched after a storm. :)

A friend of mine has a large piece of property where she and here husband have planted countless daffodils and irises. I got to visit one year and she asked me to take some pictures of some that she had cut for floral displays. These two made a dramatic disply against black!

(+1 in a note above) There is a town near our home called Shady Cove, and every year during March, people come from far and wide to visit Daffodil Hill. On each side of the road that leads to the top are acres and acres of daffodils in every variety that you can imagine. What a sight! Steve and I went up there three years ago and I took hundreds of pictures. After we left, we ended up driving around taking pictures of flowering trees that were in full bloom as well. When I got home I was so exhausted that I processed only one picture for my 365 project (see the image in the note above), and I've only finished a couple of other images...what a shame!! Along with this one today, I'll be sharing other pictures when I can in the months ahead! :)

Today is a good example of why a 365 Project can be very hard! Specifically, TIME CRUNCH! It's 11:45pm right now and I'm running as fast as I can to put this picture up before I turn into a pumpkin! :D Steve and I were invited to spend the afternoon at a new friend's home and have dinner with Elizabeth and her charming husband, Richard, and six others (Hi Robin & Michael! :D). It was such an amazing day! In fact, I was asked to take pictures of some of Elizabeth's STAGGERING collection of daffodils...there were so many kinds it was mind-boggling! Hundreds of pictures later, and after an AMAZING dinner and fantastic conversation, Steve and I came home and I decended on my computer to copy over the 700+ images I took *GASP* and quickly look through just a few before selecting this image for my 365! These are some of the daffodils that were in a vase and I really like how they show so many kinds all in one, beautiful group. Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust (French pronunciation: ​[maʁsɛl pʁust]; 10 July 1871 – 18 November 1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for his monumental novel À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time; earlier translated as Remembrance of Things Past). It was published in seven parts between 1913 and 1927. Wikipedia: Marcel Proust

This is another favorite image that I captured when Steve and I visited my friend Elizabeth and her husband Richard for a wonderful dinner party with new friends. She has literally thousands of daffodils on her property, and these were growing next to her pond. The light of the setting sun on the water was truly magical!
