Daffodil

I love the spring don't you. The fist signs of beautiful blooms in your garden. Unfortunately i'm still waiting for my daffodils to bloom so this is an image I took of some I bought in the shop. You see where I live it is pretty high above sea level. It's still pretty cold here and everything is still bare. The buds on the trees are just showing now and bulbs are just poking their heads through the soil. So until mine are blooming I'll have to make do with shop-bought flowers.

Daffodil

Commonly known as Daffodil narcissus, jonquil have six outer petals surrounding a cup which creates a trumpet-like look. Some stems produce one flower; others produce clusters. The outer petals are yellow or white; cups may be white, yellow, orange or salmon, and some have an orange edge.

Another attempt at 'still life' work. I still haven't bought those lamps yet so the lighting's not quite right yet. But I won't give up as it's the only way to learn..... try, try try again....
