A little more than a week ago, the Museum of the City of New York tweeted a photo of the Garden’s Daffodil Hill from 1947 as their photo of the day.

Inspired by the serene scene, I asked Garden photographer Ivo to head out and see if he could capture a similar shot. Trees have moved and grown, and this year’s strange weather has taken its toll on the blooms, but I think Ivo did a pretty good job. What do you think?
