ColorChallenge: WednesdayYellow - Daffodils in the Snow

Undeterred by a spring snow, daffodils embody a cheerful optimism.

I am always reminded of the hym, Julian of Norwich (Sydney Carter) by this sight. The lyrics, based on the words of the mystic Julian of Norwich, include the lines:

Love, like the yellow daffodil, is coming through the snow
Love, like the yellow daffodil, is Lord of all I know

This snow was just a skiff, but I have seen daffodils raising their sunny heads above a blanket of snow six to eight inches deep.

Her Revelations of Divine Love, written around 1395, is the first book in the English language known to have been written by a woman. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_of_Norwich
