See, it IS spring there, Woman! I know you're still wearing your hoodie, but the daffodils don't lie. smile I like how the one on the right is really paying attention to you!
Picturit: The one on the right just whispered in my ear......spring is coming soon, so you pay attention, every morning I wear my zwarte muts, to keep my brains from frozen....grin....
Yes mijn lieve vriend, SPRING IS IN THE AIR....

Oh, ik geloof jij weet hoe zeer ik hou van deze daffodils (eigenlijk de het mooist klinkende naam voor deze prachtige lentebloemen)- elke bloem kijkt naar een andere richting, maar ze horen samen en genieten van het zonnetje en kunnen navoelen de lentekriebels in onze buik en hart!
Picturit: Philine dit is de mooiste tijd van het jaar, alles is zo fris, zo vrolijk, zo vol met bloemen pracht, deze bloemen staan in de tuin van een hele lieve vriendin van mij, het is een genot om daar te fotograferen.
Je hoort gauw van mij.
Geniet van de zondag,
Astrid.

LOL at Ginnie - it does look like it has turned around to stare ;o) We can always rely on the daffodils!

What a heart-lifting sight and a suitable metaphor for your outlook on life! Have a great weekend.
Ingrid
Picturit: Ingrid this is one sight of me that will never change (I do hope), I know sometimes it is difficult to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel, but my always positive attitude makes it that I will keep smiling and see the beauty around me.
Thank you so much for your always kind words to me.
Please have a great weekend too, even if it only 47 hours..... wink
Astrid.
It is definitely spring on the polder.
Picturit: The polder is so great to be in, flowers bloom, birds are right awake and are to be heard.
It is a joy to be outside again.
Astrid.
A superb light here Astrid. Fine shot!
Picturit: Thank you Richard, it was the early sun, the flowers are in a friend's garden, pure delight to be there.
