What a morning! While snow fell like dancers in upturned tutus
the daffodils huddled against the house in a catatonic state.
This year winter's mild manners have flora and fauna confused. Outdoor daffodils with buds this early are taking a chance. So I decided to do an experiment. I cut three buds and brought them indoors.
Will they bloom? Only time will tell.
I titled this last photo, Daffodil Hope because I hope these three buds do burst into trumpets of bright yellow.
Daffodil Hope is part of
Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. The photo was edited in Elements 10 with various basic editing techniques and then layered with Kim's texture Felicity and a final layer of Rosy French, a texture from
French Kiss. View more texture love by clicking on the button below. Have fun!
We finally got some snow here in NC, too. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am. Pretty photos...especially the last one. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post! I loved the first line, it described the snow so well, I could see it in my minds eye :)
ReplyDeleteAll these flowers around here are going to be in for a rude awakening I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteMichelle...we've had very little snow here in nw Ohio, but today it was beautiful while it lasted. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeletegeetlee...Thanks for your kind words.
Kathy...You're so right. I doubt very much the daffodils bloom. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful photos! Oh, how I wish we could see one big snow before the Winter's over!

ReplyDeleteOh my...it's the same story here...we've been incredibly mild for a few weeks...but it looks like we'll dip into freezing temps this weekend...poor, poor garden...it's so confused!
ReplyDeleteI hope they will open. Beautiful processing.
ReplyDeleteCiao Teresa, thanks for your visit. Due to so much theft in the past, we no longer allow to pin our photos to pinterest or share them on FB etc, but thanks so very much for asking. :) Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteDid those beautiful daffodils open in the end? Hope so :)
