Daffodil hill😍🌼

What a beautiful sight and a pleasant smell it was to witness these daffodils dance to the light spring breeze 🌼🌼

You can see Daffodils in most parts of the Bay Area. This location is in the East Bay.

P.s. I saw people had stamped on these plants and they were destroyed. I love plants and enjoy them without even touching them. I take photos of blooms and plants very carefully without harming them. You can use the space between the plants or take photos at the end without damaging them. Please be mindful of the plants.
