April 18: The quality of light, jonquils

Friday, it was overcast, breezy, cold. The clouds were quite dark and ominous looking, really. A lovely day. Saturday, it was exactly the same, but with sun, not at all ominous. It's so interesting how the light changes the colors and mood of things, even when you're not looking at the sky.





We get daffodils in February usually, or early March. Mostly I think they're the cultivated ones. But there are some jonquils, smaller and wilder, that get loose in fields and seem to prefer April. We've got them now.
