Sunday afternoon was such a nice sunny day (temp in low 70s) that we decided to visit Wye Mountain and the daffodil festival run each year by the Wye Mountain Methodist Church. We had seen photos of the festival in the newspaper and on TV but had never been there. Wye Mountain is right outside of Bigelow, AR. Ever heard of it? I didn't think so. It took us about 50 minutes to drive to Wye Mountain in MINI.
Since this is run by the Methodist church, they have a cross in the middle of the field (on a hill). They also hold their Easter service at the cross at sunrise (starting 5:30 am - way before sunrise). The cross is a bit difficult to see, but it's to the right of the big tree.
They were also digging up bulbs to sell. Here's wheel barrel with flowers and bulbs.
There were quite a few visitors at the field. Not surprising for a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
There were a lot of young parents taking pictures of their small children in the daffodils. Many of these were probably going to be Easter pictures for grandparents and relatives.
We both enjoyed the flowers.
We plan to go a little earlier next year to hopefully catch the flowers at more of their peak. We'll also go during the week when there are fewer visitors.
