Narcissus by olivetreeann

Narcissus

Today would have been my mother's birthday. She and I shared a love for Spring flowers- particularly Narcissus. So this one is in her memory.

I am still catching up from my almost 3 week absence. Please do not feel obligated to comment on all these pictures! Just give them a view and comment on one or two- that way I'll be able to keep up with you.
You are never ever obligated to try to comment on my pictures. I can go months without hearing from you and still be delighted when I do. This is sweet and a good way to remember your relationship with your mom, hyacinths make me think of my Dad, not because he loved them but because his friends flooded his funeral with them.

A beautiful flower photographed perfectly. Fantastic detail and light.

Yesterday would've been my mother's 90th birthday. How strange that our mothers were born so close together.
