amid the daffodils, originally uploaded by steven brannon.
Photographer Steven Brannon tells us about this April 3, 2009 photo: It was taken in the gardens of Muncaster Castle in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, UK just 15 miles from where I live. The daffodils in these parts can be truly fantastic, in fact a local poet – William Wordsworth – who was born about ten miles from where I live – wrote quite a famous poem about them.

A daffodils blog would not be authentic without a photograph taken at Grasmere. Photographer byamossygnome.com tells us: The picture was taken in the Wordsworth Daffodil Garden in the village of Grasmere in the English Lake District. They are wild daffodils – the sort which inspired Wordsworth’s poem about them after he saw them growing by the shores of Ullswater, a lake just a few miles away. Because Wordsworth lived in Grasmere, and his poem is so famous, many daffodils have now been planted there.
