Thursday's Inspiration: Spring
There is something about naturalized narcissus that just speaks to me. I think maybe it is the combination of elegance and comfort -- such a graceful, elegant flower growing in the midst of the shaggy spring grass... like a beautiful woman in torn jeans and a t-shirt. Does that make sense?
As many of you know, spring is my favorite season. I love all the signs of new life bursting from the cold and brown winter earth. From the early snowdrops through the golden forsythia, spring is a parade of natural wonders and a feast for tired winter eyes. :)
Next week's word prompt is breakfast. I will be away for the following two weeks. I come back by May 30th, so let's do country then. OK? Looking forward to seeing all your inspiration! :)
It is beautiful indeed to see a sight like this. I happened to see yellow ones blooming along a field the other day but not in a place where I could get a photo. Thank you for hosting. Pamela
ReplyDeleteHi Mary: Will there be a posting for Mosaic Monday and next week or will you be away for both? Valerie
ReplyDeleteLovely daffodils! They do certainly say spring, unlike the snow we're getting today. Good thing I did my spring post yesterday to link up. :-)
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteComfort and elegance in its finest definition with narcissus!!!
Exquisite photography, dear friend!!!
Simplistically stated spring!!!
Thank you for hosting Thursday's Inspirations!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Daffodils are definitely a harbinger of spring - tulips too if the squirrels haven't dug them out.

Hi! New to this linky party! :) I love the idea of the different theme everyweek b/c I love photography. Spring is my favorite season, too! Your narcissus photo is so simple and spectacular!

Gorgeous shot Mary, says Welcome Spring.
ReplyDeleteThat clump of narcissus in the long grass is a lovely shot. Wild or naturalized flowers have a beauty all their own.
ReplyDeleteLovely spring flowers, Mary! Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteOh Mary!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils and Snowdrops are the first sign of Spring in my neck of the woods.
This is a very pretty family or maybe they're just friends "getting together"!!

ReplyDeleteA big hug and happy May !!!
I love the sweet narcissus. Thanks for hosting the lovely Spring party!
ReplyDeleteVictoria was made for spring - the blossoms, the blue of the sky and the ocean conspire to make a heavenly place!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Mary!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful spring flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love your image but, even more, I love your description of spring. I've struggled and fumbled twice, today, to say just what you have! It's quite precious - spring!
