Daffodil Hill

Photographers come to photograph the daffodils on Daffodill Hill at Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, O.
the hill is at a crossroad of paths
there are other blooms to be seen
In middle March, much of the US had record heat. Northeast Ohio had 6 of 7 days with new records, three consecutive days of 83°F., which past the previous marks by 7°. In my front yard the daffodils were wilted and brown by Sunday (yesterday). The cemetery sits on higher ground and their flowers were bright. On the old Liberty Blvd. (now, MLKJr.) some of the daffodils were exhausted too, but nearer the lake they were still vibrant.

The cemetery promotes the blooms of Daffodil Hill. Sunday morning, there were people toting cameras with tripods (in case there is motion from wandering flowers?), their companions, spouses and hounds. The air was slightly misty, along downtown there was fog. It was a good time for picture taking. The cemetery was planning Daffodil Sunday for April 15th?
