Two-toned
Three Amigos
I found these vibrant daffodils brightening up a small park in rural Kewaunee county, Wisconsin. This is a positive sign that spring has finally sprung in our neighborhood.
Near Bruemmer Park and Winter Park, on Kewaunee County’s highway F, is a small log cabin. In front of this cabin is a boulder with a bronze plaque that is dedicated to the achievements of Ransom Asa Moore; dated 1929. The plaque states, “As superintendent of schools of this county and as agronomist, and a builder of the Short Course in Agriculture at the University of Wisconsin, this tablet is placed near his birthplace and where in 1881, he first taught school.”
In this humble park area, there are a variety of daffodils that dot the park grounds in early spring. I usually try to make sure I stop by each spring to capture some of the beauty. There are other flowers that bloom through the summer, as well. I’ve used it as a setting for portraits in the past.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
This is another one of my “can’t wait for spring” creations. Still in the dull, cold, dreariness of early spring, I picked up a few flowers from a local florist.
This was a particularly beautiful bloom. I took a number of photos of this image dry and then added some moisture from a simple spray bottle. I propped it up on a kitchen chair and photographed it in early morning, natural light from a nearby window.
I recently posted a Black & White image of this same flower titled, A Light Caress (Check it out for an interesting comparison. Let me know which you like better in the comments.)
