I went to the daffodil fields after work one day last spring. It was sunny all day, but by the time I got there in the late evening, the rain clouds were moving in. I waited around until almost an hour after sunset, and the colors just intensified. I stood in the field...amazed at the beauty that laid out before me, like God's shag carpet. I could smell the rain in the air...
