The Free State has daffodils out! Maryland also has gourmand squirrels (even if “gourmand” is a noun and not an adjective). Image taken on March 24, 2008.

Tennessee had a pretty snowstorm in early March. Fortunately, the soon-to-be-pretty daffodils survived. This photo was taken on March 9, 2008.

We wrote to the photographer, Gail S, inquiring about the current weather and the health of these daffodils in Tennessee. Here is the daffodils report from West Tennessee:

We are in West Tennessee, just 50 miles east of Memphis and about 40 miles north of Mississippi. It is about 55 degrees Fahrenheit today and the sun is shining. The daffodils are out and more are coming! It’s just lovely. The snow only lasted a day or two. It didn’t snow at all in 2007 and only once in 2006 and in 2005. Snow is rare for us here and quite a treat!

This dramatic image was taken by Shutterbug (C) on March 19, 2008. Another beautiful example of a photograph that has the “look” of a painting.

We wrote yesterday to monmouthdailyphoto about this intriguing March 6, 2008 photo, wondering about its story. Here is what we learned about daffodils in central New Jersey:

“The daffodils didn’t actually bloom until yesterday [March 20]–well, ONE daffodil bloomed, and it fell over immediately (before I could get a picture). The rest are still buds.

These particular daffodil leaves are located in our yard in central New Jersey.”
