first daffodil

daffodil!

This is the first daffodil of the year in our yard. I've seen them coming up in other places around town as much as a week or two earlier, but we're facing north and everything seems to take just a little bit longer. Although in some instances, the wait is totally worth it!

I love the image of them as messengers for a changing season!

It was taken on a beautiful sunny afternoon which was even more beautiful because it was rainy the day before and rainy the day after. This particular daffodil is in the shade -- I got lucky with the light on the flower and the dark background.
