"beside the lake, beneath the trees.....

....fluttering and dancing in the breeze"

Just had to be daffodils for 1st March! (Perhaps slightly more photogenic than leeks?!)

Thanks to Wordsworth for the lines from his poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" which was apparently inspired by an event on 15 April 1802, in which Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came across a "long belt" of daffodils. (Wikipedia)

Daffodils are such optimistic flowers ... lovely quotation

[Ming Ryan]

They look like they have their faces out to the sun

Beautiful. It is the first day of autumn here in Oz and the temperature is still 30 degrees c. Going to be hot and humid for the rest of the week too apparently.

Wonderful capture for today and the words of Wordsworth are a perfect match.

[Disha Parekh]

Your composition of them is beautiful! Great quote to go with it! Happy spring! (almost spring) :)

Thank you - yes, spring on the calendar but the weather has not yet caught up!

[Disha Parekh]

@quietpurplehaze I can imagine it's a bit early for the weather but the signs are there that it is coming soon!
