The first one

In our front garden a single daffodil almost about to open its flower.

Daffodils

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: -
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company!
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth
Yay, a sign of Spring arriving. Lovely focus in your shot.
Lovely poem, and I love the Lake District that inspired Wordsworth.

Mooi gedicht bij een mooie foto. In onze tuin zijn ze nog niet zo ver. Wel al boven de grond.
Moet eerlijk toe geven De laaste weken ben ik meer met mijn sieraden bezig dan met foto`s. Moet maar eens wat meer naar buiten.

I'd love to see some signs of Spring around here but it's not going to happen this week since we're supposed to have unseasonably cold weather. Beautiful flower, well captured.

@pyrrhula wow, fantastisch, wat een mooie kettingen, heel strakke lijnen, prachtig. Ik neem aan dat je het hout eerst schildert en dan aan elkaar plakt.

@pyrrhula en wat een variatie in gebruik van materialen en type sieraad. Leuk ook om het proces te zien, van op papier naar eindresultaat. Erg inspirerend!

Lovely splash of yellow, looking forward to next month's yellow theme.

@pyrrhula ik heb ze voor je gedelete, maar ze zijn in mijn geheugen gegrift :-)

@boxplayer me too, blue and white are quite easy to find in and around the house, but I think yellow is going to be a real challenge for me. Looking forward to it though.

So nice to see this harbinger of Spring. No wonder Wordsworth was moved to lyrical eloquence. Your shot is so elegant.
