Spring in January 2012 / Kralingen / Rotterdam, originally uploaded by zzapback.

From Rotterdam, the Netherlands, photographer zzapback tells us: “I took this shot Monday morning January 16, 2012 at the border of ‘het Kralingse bos’ (woods of Kralingen, Kralingen is the name of the local neighborhood). It was pretty cold (around freeze point), the daffodils stood about 1 ft above the ground, kind of frosty. There was one daffodil with its head up, the rest left everything hanging.

Photographer ~irene~ writes to us about this January 15, 2010 photo: The picture is taken in Amsterdam on the Valeriusplein (square) in the old south part of the city, near the Vondelpark. It’s a beautiful neighbourhood. I made this picture on my lunchbreak. I make a daily picture for my Flickr page and suddenly my eyes caught the tips of these daffodils in the snow. There’s been heavy snow for weeks now and they made me feel all optimistic and happy.

Photographer ashzhish tells us about this bright-eyed April 2, 2009 image: I took the photo along the Witte Singel in Leiden, the Netherlands. I was charmed both by the luxurious carpet of daffodils lining the singel amd by the ducks wandering through them. After a long cold winter, the flowers – among the first harbingers of spring – were a warm and welcome sight.
