Legend of the Daffodils

West Virginia

Each time a Guardian Angel notices a good deed - a prayer, kindness or sacrifice - she plucks a gold star from the heavens and sends it to earth, where it blooms as a golden daffodil.

Like the poem. But the angels are slower up here. Mine will not bloom for about another week. :-)
Nice shot

I had better get out of this chair.
I haven't earned my daffodil yet today.
Guest 17-Apr-2006 12:32
Had not heard this legend before and it accompanies a nice photo as well. Great DOF.
Guest 17-Apr-2006 12:30
Beautifully done
Guest 17-Apr-2006 12:19
This is beautiful...with great dof, detail, yet the softness of the edges is really effective. I had never heard the legend :)
Alida Thorpe17-Apr-2006 12:12
Beautiful flower. You captured the color and details well.

Excellent close-up. The focus is perfect, and the texture of the petals is really nicely rendered. Vote.
