On my way to another location I passed this field of daffodils which reminded me of Wordsworth's lines, 'And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the Daffodils.'...Please enjoy.

I think Wordsworth would have approved of this beautiful shot of a host of golden daffodils. The whole picture is imbued with their goldenness - it appears their colour is reflected in the sky.
Beautiful - the only word to describe it :)

I might be at the bottom of the pile commenting but you're at the top of the heap with this one Mick. That sky is perfect. Add a field of daffodils and you have perfection. All you have to do is look at the # of downloads to realize how great it is. If I lost a golf ball in there, I'd just leave it. I wouldn't want to disturb anything. Excellent.

full screen, the daffodils look a bit oversaturated, but it's a nice shot. Maybe could use some lightening to bring out the hill a bit and help balance out that saturation a bit.

Dear Mick....

"Daffodils" (1804)

I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).

Once again to my amazement... you have posted a surpreme image that really takes my breath away...such splendor...such color...in all aspects this photo is professionally done...your talents are displayed here in estraordinary ways...as always...

The mood I am experiencing... is one of total peace and appreciation... for what God has presented for you to examine..in full...and then to gather together your tasteful elements...enhance them with your skill....and then....to gift the composition to us for our pleasure...this you have done...the image is beautiful...and I love it Mick...flowers for as far as the eye can see...and done with a 'touch of genius'....I must say....I will place this image in my favorites for certain....thank you!

I couldn't resist sending the poem along in it's entirety for those who unfamiliar with it...because...I too love....love it's words!!

Ta for now...

Marilyn

P.S.

Thank you very much for your visit to 'Gueese'...I appreciate your suggestion and your comments very much...as I am sure you know....I am not at all certain though...that wildlife photography is my 'thing' Mick..but thanks for the suggestion...it is fun...I must admit...;o)
