Daffodil Downpour

Yes, you read that right. A downpour of daffodils. The yard where I'm at right now is simply bursting with color right now, and there are tons of daffodils. Every day more just pop right out. Not that I mind any, since I love spring (minus the hordes of pesky bugs - what will it be like this summer?). And yes, I know I'm posting a lot of pictures of the same subject, but you wouldn't want me to post all the pictures I took of daffodils... I have lot's more. :) Well, I guess I'll stop rambling and get on with the show.
All of these pictures were taken with a Canon PowerShot A710IS. If you ever want a camera that's a little more sophisticated that a regular point and shoot camera, but not a 'fancy' camera, then I would recommend this one. It's 7 MP, but it takes great pictures just fine. My grandpa has a newer model of the PowerShot, but I can't remember the model number, or else that I'd tell you, because his is really good, too. :)


 Sorry about this one being sideways. I saved it going the right way, but after several attempts at fixing it - which included reloading it again and again to blogger - it still won't go upright once I put it on my post. A little annoying, to say the least. Oh, and the next two pictures seem to have the same handicap as well (with no cure - I tried to fix them too!).

This is what most of the flowers in the yard looked like about a week ago.

I think that out of all the daffodils I like to photograph the yellow and white ones the best.



 See what I mean by a good camera? I just love the focus on this camera. The better the camera, the better the pictures. Unless there is operator error involved.


So far I've found the all yellow daffodil, the white and yellow daffodil, mini all yellow daffodil, and one other kind (like in the above picture). If you know what it's called, please tell me! :)

I've now got the pictures of about the past week and a half on the computer now, so be prepared for some more "springy" photo posts!
