I noticed today as I drove home from work that the daffodils were fading… We had some exceptionally sunny and hot days for spring. Our new flowers have not sprung into life yet, I look forward to them

Daffodils in London are starting to wither…
But the cherry blossoms (also magnolia) have begun.
So lovely!

I took this one a couple of days ago

I have taken a photo from this angle at the same time of year, but I have never posted it. It is still in my pending posts folder…

You must have seen it in my mind’s eye

Absolutely breathtaking daffodils, my favorite flower of all.

That song is the very essence of spring and it makes me smile as much as the flowers do

It is strange how we use the words ‘magic’ and ‘magical’ for predictable events, like the return of Spring flowers. I guess I’m just as guilty as most, but real magic is ‘inexplicable’ and ‘producing surprising results’. (the COD). But as the G & S song goes -
“The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la,
Breathe promise of merry sunshine -
As we merrily dance and we sing, tra la,
We welcome the hope that they bring, tra la,
Of summer of roses and WINE.
And that’s what we mean when we say that a thing
Is welcome as flowers that bloom in the spring,
Tra la, la la, la la……etc.”
Cheers…B.
