More narcissus, originally uploaded by sjb5.

Pacific Palisades, California. sjb5 says: “The picture was taken last Sunday at the Getty Villa. Spring comes early here! The flowers were growing by a fountain (so apt for narcissus!) in the Herb Garden of the Getty Villa, a museum of mostly Greek and Roman antiquities. The Villa itself is laid out to resemble a Roman villa, most notably the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum. It is a beautiful place!”

Photographer Laila Neihoum tells us about this January 12, 2011 image taken at Clovis Botanical Garden in the Central Valley region of California: The Coordinator emailed garden volunteers that she “noticed Daffodils starting to push through the mulch, and with all the rainstorms, there will be lots of weeds waiting for us.”

So there we were! We worked all morning, trimming the bushes. We had a good chat while sipping coffee at rest time. I took many pictures of the daffodils and the red ripe berries of the arbutus tree.

Daffodils and Redwoods near Eureka, California

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Daffodils and Redwoods., originally uploaded by Einsteinophile.

Photographer Einsteinophile tells us about this March 10, 2010 image of foggy daffodils: The picture was taken at the main campus of College of the Redwoods, a community college district that serves Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties in Northern California. This one is located just south of Eureka, CA. Daffodils grow like crazy here! The school and a lot of other places are just covered with them this time of year. It really does a lot to brighten things up, because we are right on the ocean, and so we don’t get to see the sun much from October until about July. I took this photo when I realized that you could see the redwoods and the fog coming off of them, and thought the dark background would make a great contrast to the bright yellow flowers.
