Weekly Photo Challenge: Down
Daffy-down-Dilly
Has come to town
With a yellow petticoat
And a pretty green gown
Daffy-down-Dilly
- Nathaniel Hawthorn
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
- William Wordsworth

Very clever use of the prompt. Lovely daffodils.
Beautiful! Absolutely Beautiful!
Great poetry selections to match the photos.
When I was a kid in school we memorized Wordsworth.
It has been a favorite spring-time poem all these years.
Have a great week-end!

Beautiful photos and a wonderful entry! Gorgeous yellow daffodils.
Lovely poetry and plume
Beautiful… It’s a bit early for them in these parts even though the weather has been mild. I love daffodils.
Aaw! That’s a very unusual take on the prompt – and totally lovely! A breath of spring, so not ‘down’ in any other way!
Gorgeous photos, I do love daffys!
