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.

As I sit here and slowly close my eyes / I take another deep breath / And feel the wind pass through my body / I’m the one in your soul / Reflecting inner light / Protect the ones who hold you / Cradling your inner child I need serenity / In a place where I can hide / I need serenity / Nothing changes, days go by Where do we go when we just don’t know / And how do we relight the flame when it’s cold / Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing / And when will we learn to control Tragic visions slowly stole my life / Tore away everything / Cheating me out of my time / I’m the one who loves you / No matter wrong or right / And every day I hold you / I hold you with my inner child I need serenity / In a place where I can hide / I need serenity / Nothing changes, days go by Where do we go when we just don’t know / And how do we relight the flame when it’s cold / Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing / And when will we learn to control Where do we go when we just don’t know / And how do we relight the flame when it’s cold / Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing / And when will we learn to control I need serenity [x2] ~ Godsmack – Serenity (lyrics) Pentax *ist DL; 75-300mm lens; Ps CS3 Extended.

I took this sometime in the summer in my bathroom. There was a giant spiderweb on the window so I sprayed it with water… most of it ended up on the window which is the bokeh you seen in the background. Enjoy!
Don’t eat them… haha…. This is growing in my front yard, but I have no idea what kind of tree it is. It has pretty blossoms in the spring though. Enjoy!
