Spring flowers on Ham Common - # 41


If there's one good thing about City Daily Photo, it's this: you look about you and start to notice colour, shape, form, light, texture more intensely than you did before. It encourages you to make the most of what you've got, rather than crying for what's not available without striving for it. Finally, you learn that often the simpler things give people the most delight.

    And you will find the world around us is much more beautiful and interesting than we knew before.

    the yellow flowers looks warm...and is it in a special shape??

  2. Yes, you are right and daffodils are one of those simpler things that come very top of the list. (Though, talk about striving for things you don't have: I actually got some daffs to grow here in Tenerife! :) This shot is made even better, for me, because I know exactly where you are taking this shot. I've been past so many times.

  5. Me too I totally agree with you. Then we all have to think that what's obvious for us it isn't for people that come to visit our blogs. In this case, before to read your description, I thought: "oh it's so 'wonderfully' English that pic"

  6. Lovely spring flowers. They really cheer up any place. I look forward to seeing the deer. Thanks for thinking of me. Have a good weekend.

  7. I could not have said it better...well, I would've spelled "color" the right way, of course ;-)
    Thanks for this brief encounter - I can sleep well tonight...

  8. Cute little house and of course I always appreciate flowers. Thien (San Antonio Daily Photo) and myself are always talking about how now we view things through the lens of DP. I findn that the best pics I sometimes take are those that were totally without thought and intention.

  9. Hey Chuck...
    I'm fine and thanks for asking. Off on an adventure. Be back in a few days.

  10. Responding to your comment on mine: yes, I recognised the view, but I didn't remember the name. Besides, my regular "watering hole" in those days was the Duke of Richmond (which earned me the nickname of Duchess :-)
