Have fun coloring or painting my ink drawing of Spring Daffodils and Birds Coloring Page. (Click for enlargement.) Years ago I lived in the basement apartment of a little rowhouse in Queens, New York City. I had the pleasure of my own backyard garden that I could step right out my door onto. The ground was at chest height from my apartment floor. I could watch the birds eating their seed at a little below my eyelevel. Their water bath was an old aluminum frypan with a rock in it next to a cluster of daffodils. This vision of the little sparrows and finches hopping around and on the waterbath beside a patch of daffodils has waited until now to reach a piece of paper (or cyberspace). And now it waits for its many more incarnations as you add your color to it.
