I hope I never become so sophisticated that I stop taking pictures of flowers. I love them so much. They are so ethereal, fleeting and beautiful ... even in death.

To my Canadian friends: Spring is on it's way...guaranteed!

Beautiful daffodils, in our yard we won't see then before the end of May.... I hope you are right about spring, but I'll go out to shovel the snow now!
