Traditionally February 1st is regarded as the first day of Spring in Ireland but personally I think that's a wee bit optimistic. It's colder now than it was for much of December and these daffs were bought in the supermarket even though there was a story in the local paper about a woman who found daffodils blooming in her garden before Christmas. Commercial growers are also reporting that their daffs are flowering a full month earlier than usual.
With this spell of cold dull weather I've been suffering from a real bout of 'photographer's block'. Writer's block I can deal with but I am finding it difficult to get the inspiration to take my camera out and about when there's no sunshine or light.
