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.

  9. 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 :-)

  16. 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.
