Walk of life: Daffodils

Over the past few months, I did my usual walks during the work week and the weekend. And even though I didn't post anything I took a lot of photos. Taking photos while out and about is kind of the reward for me to go out. Being in nature itself really is reward enough but the thing is that I am walking around our township, not nature. Still, there's always something to see.

In the case of this blog post here, over the course of approximately six weeks, I took photos of the different stages of the daffodils in our little front yard bed right off our porch. Basically, every time I went outside there was something new to see.

I thought it was a little early but the daffodils poked their heads out of the dirt and shoved the dirt to the side. Make way, here we come!

Only a week later and they had doubled in size. And lifted some of the dirt off the ground for good.

Another week and another double in size. Plus you can really see the buds. And the poor rosemary in the back that didn't make it through winter - sigh - it was really flavorful. The other dead stems you see there - that was basil. It seriously grew like a little tree last year.

Aaaaand only two days later we had snow. Kind of funny really, it was such a warm winter. I hardly remember any snow this season at all. But here it was, trying to cover the daffodils.

I guess the snow was a bit of a setback because it took the daffodils another two weeks to finally have their first blooms.

But then there was no stopping them. Bright and yellow and all of them at once.

And finally, I got my beloved raindrops on petals and leaves. I can never resist taking these shots. In fact, I will even go for a walk in or after the rain just to take these photos.

Well, technically, this wasn't much proof of a walk but - all of these photos were taken at the start of my walks, hmm, or maybe when I got back. They are a walk through the life of the daffodils. Minus their end. Which has come in the meantime. But I didn't take any photos.

This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay. I promise that next time I'll post pictures from along the walks again 😇

Have a wonderful day!

Cheers,
