Photographer Delta Whiskey – The Old Folkie tells us about this March 19, 2010 photo which is a followup to his image posted here on First Daffodils earlier in the month: I was there again this morning and took a couple more photos as it had been raining. Raindrops on flowers always seems to add a certain something.
Overview of some Daffodil fields, originally uploaded by Ursula Haigh.
Photographer Ursula Haigh tells us about this March 18, 2010 image, which is geotagged on the flickr page: It’s hard to tell the type, since this photo was taken from Best Road on our way to La Conner, WA, but the unmistakable colour is proof that these are the beginning of many more daffodils & narcissus that will fill the Skagit Valley bulb fields prior to the arrival of the tulips later this month!
According to the Skagit Valley Bulb Festival hotline, the Daffodils are about a month ahead of schedule due to the unseasonably warm weather. They said the tulips are up and should be in colour at the end of March. If you plan to attend ~ don’t delay the beauty in these lovely fields is fleeting!
Here’s a photo set posted by Ursula Haigh titled “Road Trip to Skagit Valley”, if you would like to see more photos of the daffodil fields and the La Conner area.
Here is information about the Skagit Valley blooms, from our website Daffodil Festivals Fields and Gardens 2010, with a link to the Skagit Valley Bulb Festival hotline.

Daffodils Chasing Butterfly, originally uploaded by terrijane01.
Photographer terrijane01 tells us about this lively image taken on March 17, 2010: The daffodil photos were taken at St. Placid’s Priory in Lacey, Washington. St. Placid’s is a Benedictine Monastery for nuns. I am not a nun, but I was taking a retreat there.
These daffodils were growing in the garden that the nuns keep. The last time I was here, the garden was overflowing with vivid summer colors. I was not expecting to see the beautiful yellows of the daffodils when I went there on a retreat in mid-March. Most of the garden was barren.
Muffins and Daffs, originally uploaded by Squidge:).
We do not include indoor compositions very often, but this delicious photo caught our eye, er stomach. We love the yellow of the corn muffins, foretelling the yellow of the daffodils still to bloom.
Photographer Squidge:) tells us about this image, taken on March 11, 2010: The photo was taken in my kitchen in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. It was my day off and I’d spent the day doing some shopping and lots of cooking including the sweetcorn muffins that are also in the shot. Daffodils are late coming in England this year because it’s been so cold but luckily for me Cornwall is warmer than the rest of the country so our daffs are out now 
On the flickr page, Squidge:) says: Couldn’t resist buying some daffodils today… it’s been so sunny this week, feels like spring is here at last!
A Sure Sign , originally uploaded by Nick Boren Photography.
Photographer Nick Boren Photography tells us about this March 6, 2010 image: The image was taken near Brownsville Oregon in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. These daffodils that you see in this image are the very first ones to show themselves in the valley and they were growing wild in a farmers field by that old oak tree you see off in the distance.
I have other daffodil images that were captured previously, if you want to have a look at them. They are in my landscape set.
Note from the editor: Here are four pre-2010 daffodil photos from Nick’s landscape set on flickr:

Photographer Diana Walker tells us about this March 2, 2010 image: Photo taken on my favorite walk, Kitsilano Beach, near Burrard Bridge, Vancouver. I remember thinking – Wow – the incredible Vancouver 2010 Olympics (February 12th to 28th) just finished 2 days ago – and here are these beautiful daffodils, so gently living here on this side, you would never know hundreds of thousands of athletes and people from around the world were here, celebrating and partying 24 hours a day, and everything seems so quiet and gentle now!

Spring is Here!, originally uploaded by Sienna62.
Photographer Sienna62 tells us about this March 14, 2010 image: This picture was taken during the “Dallas Blooms” festival at the Dallas Arboretum. In the early weeks of the festival which is when this picture was taken, daffodils and hycacinth rule the garden in quantities that leave you speechless. As the days of the festival go by tulips and azalea lead the pack and bloom in a crescendo of color. It is quite a sight to see.
