Daffodils, originally uploaded by el gaspode.
Here is what photographer el gaspode tells us about this April 5, 2009 image: The pic is of one of the many beds of daffodils in Central Park, NYC! (around E. 100th St).
Maybe Spring is arriving, though slowly, to the East Coast? Can daffodils be far behind in Boston?
Yellow & White Daffodils, originally uploaded by hawgwildterry.
This lovely photograph was taken on April 4, 2009 by photographer hawgwildterry, who tells us: They were taken in Mt. Vernon, Washington along Memorial Highway in Skagit County. This is the time of year for the annual Tulip Festival and the Daffodils are the first to show. The reason for the Tulip Festival is that there is a very large Dutch community that settled the area.

Photographer Art of Serendipity tells us about this very interesting composition: I took the photo March 22, 2009, at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St Louis, MO. It was partly to mostly cloudy. I was working on aperture priority most of the day. It felt very zen.

Fields of dreams, originally uploaded by Shahid Durrani.
Photographer Shahid Durrani tells us about this April 4, 2009 photo: The photos were taken in La Conner, Washington (State), where every spring (April) the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is held. Daffodils, the tulips and finally irises are on show, and enjoying the daffodils is the perfect way to get rid of the winter blues.
We love the mountains in the distance.

Daffodil Flats, originally uploaded by akunkle99.
This magical space in the middle of the North Carolina wilderness area known as Linville Gorge has been captured by photographer akunkle99. Andy says: A little past the peak bloom. Either that, or the cold snap the night before kept the flowers from looking perky.
This photograph was taken on March 20, 2009. Photos from 2008 are here.
The fact that this area is virtually impossible to access except by advanced hikers makes a photograph like this priceless. Here is the Linville Gorge page from daffodilfestivals.com which includes links to the Linville Gorge website and Yahoo users group.
daffodils planted for the queen mum, originally uploaded by dolivia.
Photographer dolivia tells us these stately daffodils: The photo was taken on my recent trip to London (in February ’09). I took the photo because apparently there are no flowers planted in the whole park, except for the daffodils which were planted by school children to honor the Queen Mum.
This photograph was taken on February 23, 2009. It is likely the daffodils have come and gone by now, but we’re catching up in the posting of the photographs we have collected (now that our taxes are done!).
