Daffodils

Spring is finally here. After a long "hard" winter, the British love when the Daffodils begin to bloom. They are the symbol of spring, and a bright and happy image they are. I've not been a flower person, but they were a very welcome site after all the cold weather.






Bright and yellow, and just bursting up out of the lawns. It seems that they are planted in the grass, and as the grass isn't mowed in the winter and early spring, they are allowed to grow and blossom. Shortly as the temperatures rise, the grass will begin to grow again, and I expect that they will be mowed under until next spring.



Until then the dogs, which love running through the daffodils, and I will enjoy their bright and cheery presence in the many local parks and gardens.
