You could sell it as a poster. :-)<BR/><BR/>I had to google to find the Wordsworth poem - oh yeah, the beginning is familiar, though I'm not sure I've ever read the whole thing. I haven't had the benefit of a literary family, so I suppose I do come to it unjaded. I'd kill to see daffodils coming up right now!

Although yellow is my least favorite flower color in a summer garden, when it is Feb/March -- and when we've been buried in GRAY for months -- those bright yellow frilled faces are the perfect antidote.<BR/><BR/>BTW, did you see my post about Dorothy Wordsworth? Apparently, according to the new biography of her, William ripped the famous image of the daffodil straight out of her Grasmere Journal.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-80663091200162365272008-03-20T09:55:00.000+01:002008-03-20T09:55:00.000+01:00What a great idea.

I love the way it combines a deep and abiding loyalty to the daffodil - and perhaps to Willy W as well, with a slightly wry comment on the rather boring reliability of the poem's regular recurrence every year.

It's really very rudimentary, there are probably a dozen more clever things you can do with other software, but I rather like its simplicity.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-4887121668145244962008-03-16T14:24:00.000+01:002008-03-16T14:24:00.000+01:00What a delight!
