Narcissi in the window

Every Mother's Day my daughter, who doesn't live locally, sends me some beautiful narcissi and daffodils. She knows they're my favourites, bless her heart.
These are some that I put on the window ledge. They looked so pretty in the light so I spent a bit of time today trying out different exposures. This is the one I thought looked most like what I felt the glow looked like, if you see what I mean!

Edit. Just remembered something A.A.Milne wrote : - "A house with daffodils in it is a house lit up, whether or no the sun be shining outside. Daffodils in a green bowl--and let it snow if it will."
I see what he meant - there was no sunshine here today - and it snowed too!

I made a montage of some of the different exposures I took as well : http://365project.org/dulciknit/on-the-day-extr/2013-03-11

The light goes through these perfectly on the window ledge - it sure shows the variations in shading and emphasizes the detail in the lines. Beautiful shot.

The softly diffused light is perfect, making the petals almost transparent. AA Milne was right - they do light up the house.

Lovely soft background and tone with the light just coming through those petals. Such a pretty shot. The scent of them is lovely too.
