One daffodil.

One daffodil.
My day began with a laugh. I took in a parcel for one of my neighbours yesterday and saw her coming round to collect it in a bright orange dressing gown and furry slippers. In pouring rain ! She came inside the door for a moment and we had a laugh. She is a care worker and is fully vaccinated and tested for Covid 3 times a week so not much of a risk. Otherwise it was another day when I avoided housework in spite of good intentions. Too much time reading news and having a long phone conversation with Margaret who has also had her first jab. I did get myself out for a short walk down the Newton road. Puddles everywhere and I could see flooded fields in the distance on the Howe of Fife. Really too dark and grim for photography although I tried with my G12.
Once home I photographed the one daffodil out in a bowl in mini ones. So dark by that time it's a mixture of natural and artificial light but OK I think

No they are not. This is one flower in a bowl of bulbs photographed indoors. Even most of our snowdrops are not fully out

I really like the colours in this shot.............the daffodil is beautiful and really stands out against the subdued greens and browns. A smashing capture Jean.

I found some snowdrops in the local cemetery today - what a "rock & roll lifestyle I lead :-))

The light is lovely Jean. Sometimes the late and unexpected ones are the best!
Sounds like Keith's lifestyle is about the same as mine ;-))
Have a good weekend and stay safe.

Lovely colour in a late light, a little hint of what's coming round the corner Jean, New buds on the shrubs, bulbs shoots pushing through the surface, soggy fresh green lawns and with the Covid numbers coming down gives us all a little welcome lift.

Well taken, Jean. Mixed lighting can be very difficult to handle.
