still holiday

last week I received a lovely emerald green smock dress made by susan402 on etsy. it is really a small masterpiece, so detailed and well made. worth the tag price and the waiting list! i decided to let daffodil model it, as it was her birthday and i thought the green dress + her yellow locks would look great against this year's daffodil crop on rozel valley:

it's funny how the bulbs blossom fabulously on the same spot year after year - and year after year i have to walk there with my camera to photograph them. this year i didn't do a great job photographing them, because the light was dull and last week's windstorm had taken a few away before i finally got there (and yes, bad angle + me in a hurry). but nonetheless the view never fails to amaze me.
