The daffodil fields are in bloom, and it was just lovely. People were enjoying them in many ways. Sitting next to them on the ground, lying among them taking photos, sitting on benches above them, etc. We were all so happy to see such bright and cheerful yellow beauty after such a brutal winter.
Overall, I saw 8 Mourning Cloaks, 1 Spring Azure, 1 Eastern Comma and 2 Cabbage Whites. I also saw Chipping Sparrows, Northern Mockingbirds, Pine Warblers, Tree Sparrows, and American Robins.

The flowers definitely took center stage on this outing. No doubt about it. There were little splashes of color everywhere. It's SO beautiful. Enjoy!

The rest of these photos were taken inside the Limonae and the Orangerie. I apologize in advance for not having any ability to cut this down to a reasonable amount of photos. The flowers are just too pretty to discard!
Never saw white forsythia before. Love the shot of the daffodils with the blue sky with clouds
ReplyDeleteI've only seen it at Tower Hill. Yes, that shot was fun! I had to crawl like a snake to get it.
