Daffodils on the Isle of Wight

Saturday, February 12th, 2011

At Least the Daff’s are watered, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (feel free to comment) aka WYSIWYG.

Photographer Rusty Marvin tells us about this image taken on February 7, 2011: I suspect the rest will be out in the next few days. As we have recently had some sunny days, the snow drops are now in abundance compared to the lonely one I found on Saturday.

As for those in the image…They are in my front garden which is Ryde on the Isle of Wight in England

Some bulbs were already in the ground the rest I believe came from Woolworth’s in the closing down sale. They are mainly yellow, with the odd white one appearing.

First Daffodil and Snow on Isle of Wight

Friday, January 8th, 2010

P1020609, originally uploaded by gembarrett.

Photographer gembarrett tells us about this wintry spring photo: I took this photograph yesterday (6th January 2010) in Godshill on the Isle of Wight (UK). After very heavy snowfall (a rare event on the Island) I walked around my local area to take some photos. I found this early daffodil growing alone on the bank next to the thatch cottages by Godshill Church. The bright yellow and green contrasted with the white of the snow surrounding it and I just had to take a photo of this lone daffodil braving the snow.

We think gembarrett uses the perfect term expression for this photograph: braving the snow. Here is a companion image, a closeup of the daffodil.


Note from the editor: If you are hoping to see daffodils this spring, take a look at our resource listings of Daffodil Festivals, Fields, and Gardens here.
