Breck's Colossal Daffodil, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. March 31, 2010.

First of all, I hope you all had as wonderful an Easter weekend as we did. Easter services are a joyous celebration and family and beautiful weather just made everything special.
I’m happy to report that Spring has arrived on the Plateau. In a few short days we’ve gone from practically no signs of Spring to green grass, beautiful white Bradford Pears, yellow forsythia, daffodils and even tulips in bloom.
In addition to working in the yard I’ve been experimenting with my new camera with the macro lens. It’s certainly different from a point-and-shoot, but I’m enjoying learning how to use my new toy. I hope you’ll enjoy my experiments.
Our first daffodil to bloom was the big yellow daffodil, Breck’s Colossal, shown in the picture above. We’ve got them in several places in the yard.
Replete Daffodil, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 2, 2010.
This double daffodil, Replete, is another blossom we’ve been enjoying. I’m sure I’ll have more pictures to share in the future.

Wow that second daffodil is beautiful. This may sound silly, but I’ve never seen a daffodil that wasn’t yellow!

I love the replete daffodil, just because it’s unusual and I don’t think I’ve seen one before. Macro shooting, don’t you love it? I took a bumblebee on a dandelion yesterday, my first try. Both the bee and my picture came out fuzzy, but I’ll try again.

I think you will love your new camera…the only thing for me is I don’t think I use half of what is on mine…
