Early Spring Shadows

daffodil
Early February, 2011

These daffodils always bring sunshine to my spirit when they bloom. They haven't all bloomed yet. Only one bunch. They are a radiant bunch when they're all in full bloom.  

The sun was setting when I took this photo, so tiny shadows dance among the petals.  For more shadow shots from other bloggers,  visit heyharriet's blog.

The depth and texture of this beautiful flower are really enhanced by the shadow. We await Spring up here, and the sight and aroma of fresh flora are for us to enjoy. Thanks for the warm thought in the frame!

your photos are remarkable. I was going rattle off a list of the reasons why I think that, but it's not needed. your images simply speak for themselves. I only wish I could get a few of those background colors on my walls. happy SSS!

I hope you will not run away.”

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan.
