Description
Captured 4/14/07 in the heart of beautiful Echo Park in downtown Los Angeles, California.
This shot reminds me of the tale in Greek mythology of the beautiful youth who, after Echo's death, is made to pine away for love of his own reflection in a spring and changes into the narcissus, which I assume is a flower.
Echo was the nymph who, because of her unreturned love for Narcissus, pines away until only her voice remains.
Have a hale and hearty hump day!

Yes a great capture of the goose admiring its own reflection, good title! Narcissus are the name of the common Daffodil. With spring on its way a blaze of yellow Daffodils will be seen everywhere here in the UK.

Nice pic! He looks as though he might fall in a bit clumsily while he's distracted by his own beauty.

A perfect title for a perfect capture and yes, as artaddict2 has already mentioned, the name for a common daffodil.... I thought you would have known that one Harry - you are such a knowledgeable person with so many things including flowers.... I bet you were just testing us really?? LOL. Hugs Chrissy xx
