The Other Side of Spring

[Julie Kenward]

Sometimes soft and delicate, sometimes intense and brilliant - I underexposed this a bit in the early evening sun to bring out deeper, richer color.

Julie;

I'm changing your name to the Daffodil Lady or Lady Daffodil!!

Ours are still a few weeks off. I hope I can get at least one good one.

This had to be inside - right??? Tough handheld for such a sharp image.

[Julie Kenward]

I'd be happy to be the daffodil lady...at least until the tulips break ground. :D

This was taken outside. Again, same set up where they were in a vase on a table sitting on my deck. The blue you see is the sky in the background mixed with some tree limbs.

I love the sharpenss of this image. It allows me to appreiciate the little curl at the end of the left petal, and the texture of the petals. Gorgeous colors. You have such a steady hand and excellent eye!
