Daisies, Daisies…

 Daisies, Daisies…

Spring has to be my favourite season. It’s when nature starts waking up from its winter slumber. Everywhere you look there is are signs that winter is over. Trees are starting to blossom. Flowers are starting to bloom. Even lizards are starting to make an appearance. It’s wonderful and I hope I never stop noticing.

In the hills, we are starting to see patches of daisies. Huge patches of white that from a distance looks like a light smattering of snow. I can’t see them and not be reminded of the book Heidi, with Peters goats wandering around a mountainside covered with the pretty white flowers. Or of time spent making daisy chains as a child. Do children still do that?

My Sunday Photo

daisies

I tried to capture what I see, but it’s not quite right. Can you see the fly photobombing my picture?

Daisies

I felt that the original photo didn’t quite capture the prettiness of the daisies as I saw them, so I added a filter.

I hope I never stop noticing the prettiness of spring.

About Debbie

Hello, I’m Debbie (also known as ChirpyDebs) and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Now the children are all grown up I’m happiest when I’m out with the dogs or hiking a trail with my camera in hand. My blog is where I like to share photographs showing the wild beauty of Zakynthos that most people don’t get to see, recipes and other seemingly random things that come to mind.

      Hi Laura, thank you. That's it exactly, a filter just adds that little something we think we see, but it doesn't show in the photo. Thank you for stopping by. xx

    Oh I love daisies. I spent hours making chains as a child and it definitely feels like spring when I can see them scattered across the lawn. Beautiful pic Debbie. Although it took me ages to find the fly! ;) x

    Ah, I love daisies too, they're so pretty and yes they do remind me of Heidi too. I used to love that book and programme. They also remind me of last summer spent showing the children at school how to make daisy chains, it was so sweet #MMBC x

      Hi Tracey, I bet daisies of any variety look good in a wedding bouquet. Our 'winter' walks are what get us through the long hot summer. Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi Jen, I've had some really pretty flowering cactus, I say had as one of the younger dogs took a liking to the cactus and chewed them! I know, crazy, I couldn't handle them without gloves on! I bet that field looked lovely. Thank you for popping by. xx

      Hi Sarah, the nearest flower we get to the daffodil are the narcissus that grow wild here. Any daffs growing have been bought over, usually by a British person living here. I know what you mean, hang in there spring will soon be with you too. xx
