It was April 20, and the sun shone bright on new fallen snow. From the office window I could see the miniature daffodils peeking through the snow. Sylvia took the camera and captured an image.
When I noticed that the camera settings were off a bit, it was too late to try again. I used PhotoShop Elements to give the scene a water color look.
The size of these beauties does not come through well. You can see that blossoms and stems are not in the same proportions as full-size daffodils, but that’s only part of the story. Two days later, I captured another photo after placing my cap on the ground beside the flowers.
I’m not participating in Wordless Wednesday this week. I thought these images needed a few words of explanation. Here’s hoping you enjoy them.
Wow! I didn’t know any flowers could grow in such cold conditions.
Beautiful pictures. The daffodils in the snow would make a great calendar picture.
Thanks. I think I’ll print a copy for display. 8)
Looks like they were in a hurry for the snow to go away too. 🙂
I think the water color look would be fantastic on the wall.
I’m sure they were glad to see the snow go away. Good idea. 8)
Oh! Those ARE tiny! But so pretty!
Can’t believe you got snow. Gees, that’s a last ditch effort by the cold weather. I hope it melted soon.
Tiny and so precious. I just love them. :awe:
The snow didn’t last long at all. There was no hope for a second shot at those little ones surrounded by snow.
I love dafs. I have quite a few different kinds. I’ve thought of showcasing them all but there always seem to be other things.
We have four different varieties in our walk-out gardens. I just came in from shooting some pictures of the full sizes daffodils. 8)
