We went to the daffodil festival in Meriden, Connecticut, on Saturday.  What a crowd those little flowers drew.  We had to park miles away and take a school bus to Hubbard Park.


It was worth it.  the 600,001 daffodils were bright, fragrant, and beautiful.  They are my favorite flower, so it was a real treat to see so many on a clear, bright Saturday.


There was even a parade to celebrate the yellow blossoms.  There was a fife-and-drum  band playing patriotic tunes.

The cormorants seemed not to be speaking to the gulls, or vice versa, but they sure did pose nicely.


These folks take their daffodils seriously.  I'm glad--because the daffs come back every year.  It's a nice neighborhood.
