You perverts ! I'll now have to go down to the local knocking shop to get you the shot you were all expecting

Daffodil ? I think i've ever seen them here in the flower market !

Thank you all for your comments - much appreciated !

Nice shot - I like the composition as it suits the subject
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
