Jonquils

today I tried to photograph the Jonquils whilst they were in front of the window on my kitchen bench. I Iiked how the sun created the shadows of the overlapping petals.

@anjalikoli @lilminimonka @joemuli @carlt thanks heaps for your encouraging comments. We have had dull grey days for a week and then the sun came out for a short while and blazed through the Jonquil petals so of course I grabbed my trusty camera and took many shots.

@kanelipulla @gigiflower thanks heaps. The sun always seems to be much brighter when you have had a week of grey rainy skies.

[Lynda]
