Photographer brightcloud tells us about this January 11, 2010 image: These daffodil sprouts resiliently appear year after year in my garden in Eyemouth. Eyemouth is a small fishing town on the south-east coast of Scotland. Because it meets the North Sea, not much snow lies here – but this winter was quite different. Several days of intermittent snowfall resulted in a white cover about 10″ deep. Any low-lying plants and sprouts were completely hidden from sight for several days. Nevertheless, those hardy daffodil sprouts emerged unscathed [as the thaw continued], standing green and proud.
