Daffodils

21 Comments

In the last couple of days I saw the first daffodils and was strongly reminded of this stanza from the lovely poem “Daffodils” (also known as “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”) from William Wordsworth:

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Here’s a Wikipedia post about the poem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Wandered_Lonely_as_a_Cloud

Happy April 1 (no foolin’). 😊

Daffodils and Birds

16 Comments

In Penticton, spring is a-flutter and a-bloom. The ducks are happily pairing off, the Canada geese couples are arriving and the spring bulbs are blooming.

Daffodils, otherwise known as narcissi, are such an enticing spring yellow.

A goose couple eyes us suspiciously from the water. They can be very aggressive and loud, but if one is cautious and slow, they won’t shout at you too badly.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to enjoy more of Penticton’s spring until I return five weeks from now.

Happy Friday.
