Daisy Delight


I grow the stately Shasta Daisy in my flower garden,
but it is this lyrical version that captures my imagination.
These daisies carpet our lakeside yard,
and anywhere else they can get a foothold!
They charm the eye with their abundance, dance, and delicacy.




And a couple black and whites.

    There is a simple beauty that is spread across the petals of daisies that is stunning. Pretty pictures!

    These are truly beautiful shots. My favorite though hands down is the second one, just the selective framing I think is what does it for me. I see you are really enjoying your new macro :-)

    They are so beautiful, and you have certainly done them justice here -- what lovely images! I can remember cutting armfuls of them as a child, to bring home to my mother... :)

    Your pictures are breathtaking! Love the b&W's. I have both Shasta and these (not sure, but I think the're called margueritte daisies). I love them. These are so fun, because like you say, you never know where they might show up next.

    Daisies do look great in meadows this time of year! I love the many ways you have captured their beauty. I too grow Shastas in my gardens, though. :)
