“Daffodils”
by William Wordsworth
I WANDER’D 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. Continuous as the stars that shine
- And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch’d in never-ending line
- Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they
- Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
- In such a jocund company:
I gazed — and gazed — but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie
- In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
- Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

These are the sweetest pictures! You all are so beautiful! What a good mommy you are to share your love of poetry!
Hey, you have on my favorite shirt! 🙂 I would wear it every day if I didn’t feel silly doing so. I have the tangerine colored one and am going back for the white, LOL.
Oh, and I use a Nikon D50 with the standard issue lens. 🙂 I started editing almost all my photos in Nikon Editor in about January. Before that, they were all straight out of the camera.
And I love daffodils!
What beautiful shots of my beautiful girls!
Vivi, it seems as though God took his paintbrush that day and painted you into His magnificent portrait of His love for us!
