40:365 Perfect Alignment


40:365 Perfect Alignment
There is a patch of buttercups on my Mother's road that always bloom in the middle of February. I always try to plan a trip home so that I can see them. Buttercups are my favorite because they are the first splash of color and they bring with them the promise of spring. It looks like four of these sweeties are standing in a perfect line waiting for me to take their picture. This is theme #231 Perfect Alignment.

Daffodils are a favorite of mine as well. Had them at my 1st weeding oh, so many years ago. Always have been partial to them too. Don't know how you managed to get them aligned so well, though.

Good shot.

OH, I'm so jealous! Nothing blooming here yet. And you've reminded me of the 400 or 500 daffodils that will be blooming soon at our old home! Great shot and thanks for the glimpse of spring.

Excellent photo. I can't wait for spring to arrive here. You were lucky to find them perfectly lined up like that. Mother Nature helping you out?

Beautifully composed photo - and a nice reminder that spring is coming, even if it's at least another few months away for us in New England.
