Glorious daffodils on a lovely spring day at Cox Arboretum in Dayton, Ohio. This was entered in a song challenge last year on another website and when I was considering what to enter, I saw this photo and the song from the musical “West Side Story” immediately came to mind. I liked it so much, I kept the title. This is one of my favorite images. Canon A720 IS / f/4 / 1/125 sec. / April 2008 / minor cropping and slight sharpening © Rachel Stickney 2008 / ~~ / Narcissus is the botanic name for a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. There are also several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties, and is the chief common name of horticultural prevalence used by the American Daffodil Society. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available from specialists almost every year. All Narcissus species have a central trumpet-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of six floral leaves called the perianth which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the 3-locular ovary. The seeds are black, round and swollen with hard coat. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals. Though the traditional daffodil of folklore, poetry, and field may have a yellow to golden-yellow color all over, both in the wild species and due to breeding, the perianth and corona may be variously colored. Breeders have developed some daffodils with double, triple, or ambiguously multiple rows and layers of segments, and several wild species also have known double variants.

The sunlight through the petals and leaves looked lovely against the backdrop of the snow outside. Our short days make sunshine seem all the more precious, even indoors. artisandelimage kindly suggested that I crop the line of the wall to the right, as well as a bit off the top. Thank you – I think that improved the photo. Thank you! / Winner of Tulips in Vases challenge (I know – how many people have those photos or flowers hanging around, ready to pop into a challenge, eh?) Actually, I’m truly appreciative.

Just because we’re broken or somehow not quite perfect, doesn’t mean we don’t contain something fascinating on the inside. / / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / The more verbose version follows, at “ginny’s” request: / / People look at us, and indeed we look at others, with some expectations. We are judged too often by the appearance of our external, physical selves, and I believe less so for our deeper appearance. Are we programmed to be this way or are we just too lazy to really look? I think we are a lot of both. More and more, at least in America, we’re fed the media-driven definition of beauty, which, incidentally is defined almost exclusively as it applies to women, even when it applies to men. You are not allowed to have your own idea of what constitutes an attractive person. It doesn’t sell you stuff you don’t need or make you watch some mindless entertainment that does nothing to improve your life, other than to brainwash you into buying more of the stuff you don’t need. In the USA we love it. Give us more “reality” programs, and make sure they’re mean-spirited and feature loads of “attractive” people. We feel better when we see someone else getting treated as poorly as we feel that we ourselves are, and we like being reminded that we’re not yet perfect; we need to go and buy some more stuff that will make us attractive, too. No need to think, feel or develop our own ideas and opinions. Life is so much easier that way. I wish people would spend more time worrying about who they are instead of what they look like. In fact, I wish people would spend more time wondering who WE are and what we’re about more than what we look like. And this is the fundamental concept behind my picture of the bulbs; what this composition means to me. Some give the appearance of being whole and mostly perfect, while others fractured or somehow less perfect. But until we put them to the test, give them some attention, what do we really know about them other than what we see at first glance? Which of these two bulbs would provide the light that is their intended purpose? You cannot know until you take the time to gently screw them into a socket and give them power. You must interract with them to prove their worth. Perhaps the one that appears least perfect is the one that provides you with a moment or two of warm light. Beauty surrounds us, though only when we have the desire to find it and only when we have the courage to define it ourselves will we actually see it.

... simple concept really.

From within, everything shines with its own little light. You just have to stop, pay attention, and look closely sometimes.

Gather what you will from this.. but yes, I did intend for this to look like magical sperm. Haha, it just sort of happened when I was staring at a light bulb and noticed the little spring inside… so I knew I had to do something with that. :D
