Litchfield Daffodils 6-13-2013

Visiting Laurel Ridge in Litchfield during peak spring bloom is an annual ritual that never gets old. Walking along the hillside paths above the water, you get a sprawling view of thousands of white and yellow flowers covering the gentle slopes while visitors take in the scenery from the stone walls.

This wide composition anchors the scene with rough fieldstone rocks in the lower foreground, leading your eye up across the dense blanket of daffodils toward the quiet pond below. The warm morning sunlight cuts across the fresh green grass, lighting up the tree canopy against a deep blue spring sky.
