    Spring? Not today...

    My first daffy refused to come out today.

    1 - 1pm
    2 - 5pm

    Maybe tomorrow. - TF

    That's interesting. I'm only a few miles from you and my daffies have been in full bloom for a week.

    Of course, they do get good east/south exposure.

    Interesting series, BTW.

    Mine are really slow this year. These are on the south side of a white house. Maybe just photo-shy??? - TF

    I haven't given up yet. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were chilly and rainy - no action. (Since this is already a candidate for most boring post of 2009, I skipped those days.) Today (Wednesday) in the 50s with sun and it opened a little. – TF

    Re: Spring? Not today...

    Finally I have my first flower of spring! It must have been a 'micro-weather' in our area or something. Daffys within three miles have been out for weeks, but none near us. Here is today's action...

    Thanks Mette. At least it did have an ending. I was sure that the dog would lie on it before it ever opened. - TF

    And it's final incarnation. I never realized that the white ones came out as yellow. - TF

    Re: Spring? Not today...

    Thanks for bringing us to attend the "birth" of this flower. Excellent fire shots in the open flower. The buds, very deep, are more difficult but recovered well.
    Background in some photos too sharp, perhaps better to make it more blurry perhaps opening goal

    Good Color Management

    Great series, OT. I didn't know the white ones started yellow, either.
    Now don't stop but follow it through its demise also.
    Keep Shooting!

    Thanks and a good idea, but the last one was taken in my light box in the basement (in front of black velvet). I have it in a vase, but it won't be a 'natural demise'. – TF
