Daffodil buds in sunlight
Daffodils have such great buds. I love the way they look like tapered fingertips with green fingernails. Maybe? Anyway, their strong reach towards the weak late winter sunshine is so much appreciated. They are promising springtime!
Lovely places to visit include Scenic Sunday, Today’s Flowers, Macro Monday, Macro Flowers Saturday, Weekend Flowers, Floral Friday, Outdoor Wednesday, Shadow Shot Sunday 2 and SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera). Thank you for visiting!
Oh I love this! It makes me anticipate its blooming!
Oh, how cheerful these new buds are, true spring sign. I like how the sun rays turned out in your picture, beautiful shot.
Very nice photo.
Regards and best wishes

I wish we were seeing these right now. Overnight snow but it’ll be gone by day’s end.
Love the daffys too. This photo is a good one of them pointing to the sun with those green fingernails! (What a great word picture you painted!!) I bought 3 dozen daffy stems for on the table on Monday and they’re all withered already. Sheesh. Normally they last a long time since I keep our place at icebox temps! Happy SSS.
One thing you might check for next time is whether the vase was truly clean. Sometimes they get a film on them inside and it’s so easy to just ignore it, fill with water and put the stems in. Use a brush or a little bit of bleach or whatever, but make sure the container is CLEAN. Those bacteria lurking in the film really clog stems.
I’ve also heard of using a flame to sear the stems but have never done it. Thanks again for visiting my blog,

And more beauty to come!
such a positive sign of Spring…
Oh, I LOVE the perspective in this shot! Lovely!!
Like a beautiful wedding veil of light falling on a delightful bride’s bouquet! And a wonderful shadow palette – in contrast in the background!
…come on spring…i know you can do it!!! lovely shot.
Love this shot, with the shadows and the sun flare.
How lovely, wonderful light and tones, spring is almost here.
Now I have to go get the Fire Ants out of my Planter!!!
