soon I will be something beautiful, originally uploaded by A Girl And Her Camera.

We so love the title of this February 8, 2009 photo “soon I will be something beautiful”. The photographer A Girl And Her Camera tells us: It was taken in Seattle, WA, down by the Seattle waterfront. That is by the piers, right next to the Seattle Aquarium. There is a park there, called the waterfront park. and I knew these were going to be daffodils, because I took a picture of them last year when they were in bloom.

We wrote to the photographer Lecia /A Day That is Dessert to ask about this graceful daffodil: The photo was taken in my home in Seattle, WA. I have a pot of bulbs I bought from Hearthsong; this is the first of the bulbs to start to bloom.

This photo was taken on January 25, 2009

This January 16, 2009 photo originally appeared on Jessamyn’s garden blog, Jessamyn’s Garden. Jessamyn tells us: The photo was taken in my small urban garden in Mount Vernon, WA, with a macro lens, and the daffodils appear to be some King Alfred type, but I’m not sure of the variety because they came with the house. They’re very tall and sturdy when they bloom.

We wondered if this photograph really was taken in snowy Seattle on January 4. The photographer Culinary Fool explains: Yes I just took the photo today. But they are not outside but bulbs in pots.

We think her flickr post is all we need to know about this winter season in Seattle: Close your eyes and dream of spring. No that is not more snow falling outside. No it is not!
