Agggghhhhh!!! It's a daffodil. Yes I finally gave in and did one. So here's the story. It's been raining all day. The wind's been gusting at 60mph or so. Another 1/30 f2.0 at iso 800 sort of day. Then mid afternoon, the rain stopped, the wind stopped, and the sun almost, but not quite, came out. Fantastic. So, out into the garden to see what there was to inspire me. First thoughts were the chickens, who were following me around. But they were always just to close to get the composition right. Try running. I ran up the garden, turned around to see all four chickens had run with me and were still too close. "Stupid chickens" I said. Sherri pecked me on the leg. They're smarter than you'd think, these chickens.

So what to do. I heard on the radio that it's 200 years today since a certain poet wrote a certain poem about those damn daffodils. Oh well, I've got an excuse. A daffodil it is. But, would Sherri leave me alone? Of course not. Like a teenager behind a news reporter, she just wouldn't get out of shot. So here she is. Loitering in the background of obligatory daff shot.

So Ducks next is it Ron?
