Daffodil Garden 2008

In Running Springs there is a wonderful area called Smiley Park. Smiley Park was hit hard by the recent So-Cal wildfires. I was taking pictures in the area a few weeks ago and this was one of the houses:

 

 

Today I was taking photos in the area again and visited the Daffodil Garden. I had heard the garden burned in the fire, but was hopeful that the flowers would bloom anyway. Much to my delight, the owner's home did not burn, the neighboring church did not burn and the Daffodils were spectacular! It was a wonderful day and a very special treat for me! The garden is open for a very limited time. Only from March 22, 2008 to April 6, 2008 and is open to visitors after 10am. If you've never been, you are missing a wonderful gift. You can see a lot of the burn area that surrounds this garden, but to me it makes it that much more special. Again, I am reminded how blessed I am to live here.

I love the daffodil garden! I drove past yesterday and was so happy to see the blooms. What a great local attraction. It doesn't last long though!

Holly, glad to hear all was not lost in Smiley Park and you still have the brilliant daffodils. Out of the ashes comes re-birth.
