Isn't it great to find such beautiful surprises in your garden? The white daffodil is so pretty. How fortunate that you were able to capture the butterfly - that takes patience and luck. Happy Sunlit Sunday.
Isn't it lovely when you get a surprise like that. My daffodils are trying so hard. They are absolutely soaked with the rain now. I need to make them some bonnets!! Take care. Chel x
That's a beautiful Irish blessing and the photo is stunning. The butterfly and the two flowers just woke up my whole morning; beautiful, happy colours.
Thanks for sharing your vibrant photo at "Sunlit Sunday". Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!
Wishing you much joy and a Happy St. Patrick's day also. What beautiful pictures! I always get so excited to see butterflies in the yard. It is such a pretty one too!
Daffodils are always a happy surprise! Sometimes they come up in places I forgot about planting them in. The first sign of spring here. Great photo of the butterfly. Wishing you a Happy Sunday.......
Ooh lucky you! The daffodils make me smile when I see them! That butterfly shot is great! I almost didn't notice him because I was staring at the flower! He fits right in! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Liz
I'm sharing with Sunlit Sunday
a surprise or two that I found in my garden yesterday.
What a surprise to find daffodils!
I first planted daffodils in Musashi's Garden in 1998 when we first moved in.
It was December and I planted them in a pot.
There were no flower beds, but I was determined to have some Spring color!

Over time the pots were emptied into the garden beds and I forgot all about the bulbs.
That brings us to this year and my surprise.
Mother Nature -- WOW!

I was looking out the back door when I saw this little guy flying by.
I grabbed my camera hoping he would stop someplace close.
He did.
I believe this is a little yellow Sulphur butterfly.
He didn't stay long -- zipped right off after I took the shot.
Good thing the glass was sort of clean!
Wishing YOU well, much joy and a very happy St. Patrick's Day!
Wishing you always-
Walls for the wind,
And a roof for the rain,
And tea beside the fire-
Laughter to cheer you,
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart
might desire!

What a pretty surprise! Love the butterfly close-up. They can be so hard to capture. I often chase them around the garden and never get a photo.

Your daffodils are very light; mine area a bright yellow and they have finally bloomed. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.

I hope the previous owner of my house planted some daffodils in my yard, Snap! I know deer don't like to eat them.
That butterfly was such a good photo catch--it was so beautiful!

Awesome candid shot of the 'flutterby'! Isn't it magical when the bulbs send flowers aloft for us to see? :)

What fun! I love the tea cup, too.
Cheers from Cottage Country!
