First daffodil

Every year this one is the first.  I saw it just as we were leaving for our walk.

As for the walk..it was quite an unexpected pleasure.  We started in the mist and then kept going as the rain became actual drops.  It was hard enough that my water repellent jacket started leaking on my shoulders.  Then the drops started stinging as they hit my cheeks and by the end white stuff started accumulating along the sides of the trail.

It feels good to be alive in this world.
