3-2-09 – Park daffodils and snow, originally uploaded by jennymunro.
Photographer jennymunro tells us about this image: I took the picture in Falls Park in downtown Greenville, S.C. The park is built around the Reedy River and the falls, which are just yards off Main Street. The daffodils have been out for a couple of weeks. Then last week, we had snow on March 1. I took this picture on March 2, the next day, when the snow had melted some.
All I know about the daffodils is that they are planted by the city of Greenville, which operates the park. And they are always one of the first harbingers of spring for me. Since I work just a block from the park, I watch the flowers come and go.
Spring and winter – daffodils and snow. That’s what happens when seasons are about to change. And it happens often in the Southeast. Winter often doesn’t really show up until March or so.
