Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy

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.”

Wordsworth

This week’s Photo Challenge prompt was ‘Joy’.  For me, no more joyful sight than the first daffodils emerging from the gloom of winter, heralding the certainty of springtime.
