I have been watching a couple of dwarf daffodils blooming by the side of the road.  I tried to photograph them the other day, but the bright sunshine made it very difficult, with my shadow getting in the way of the picture.  And of course there was the sodden grass too.  A few attempted pictures were consigned to the bin.

Today it was less sunny and I went armed with a carrier bag to kneel on.  I am still not totally happy with the daffodil picture, but it is much better – a real sign that despite the snow, spring is on the way.

There are plenty of snowdrops too on the verges and now the occasional crocus too.
