We saw these  near Truro,Cornwall  on the way home,unfortunately it was windy and I had to wait until it dropped  a bit but it was always blowing hence they are not too sharp especially in the distance despite being at f18

Oh wow!  When I saw the title I didn't expect there to quite so many daffs - aka a daffodil farm! They look great don't they - no doubt destined for mothers day.  The landscape is really coming alive now with the flowers and budding foliage - snowdrops, daffs, crocuses, forsythia, even blossom on the hawthorne is on it's way!  Spring  looks like it's started to sprung!  Now, a bit of nice sunshine to top it off and we'd all be happy!  Grin

Didn't pick any,Anton   Grin   Good job too  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1366401/Daffodil-pickers-warned-police-Poole-Officers-swoop-3-little-girls.html  Apparantly these children had collected about 80,there must have been a theft problem for the police to deploy manpower to stop it. I seem to have posted 3 almost the same except for the exposure, must be photo editing weariness lol. The seals were the last of the photos. I was very disappointed about the wind ,it doesn't take much of a breeze to cause a blur,no daff. scent either because the wind was blowing away from me over the fields.

I'll see what's about,Mark,as you say all sorts bursting into flower now.

Here's one I meant to post-  no furrows for a change lol.

Cheers,Martin. We don't have them here, maybe you're too far north too.
