A Simple Pretty Flower for a Sunday – 17
Here’s the 17th installment of “A Simple Pretty Flower for a Sunday.” If you’d like, you can view all the earlier Sunday flower images/posts on this page.
I love this image. I had a pot of Dahlberg Golden Fleece Daisies near an outdoor chair this past summer. They were a late replacement for some Johnny Jump Ups that just didn’t make it through the severe winter last year.
I was so sad that the Johnny Jump Ups didn’t make it, but these daisies were just wonderful in their brightness. They are tiny; the flowers are only 1/2 inch wide and there is a profusion of them. I had to really work to isolate good photo compositions with so many flowers. And I kept trying, as I was just so pleased with what they gave me.
This is a photo where one flower had reached up and just over my yellow chair. I really liked that detail in this with the other two photos hanging back.
Here’s hoping those daisies re-seed themselves and I see them again next summer. (:
Hope you have a great Sunday!

I love yellow, and this one is definitely a smile bringer. 🙂 Love this shot, especially because you have included the two flowers in the background. Thanks for the flowers, Katie! 🙂
You’re so very welcome, Nandini. 🙂
Our warm Midwest winter finally gave into the cold, snowy season it should be so seeing this sunny daisy makes me smile.
Ah, glad the daisy made you smile! 🙂
Great shot. I like the shallow depth of field. 🙂
Thanks, Bob!

The always pretty pretty sunday flower 🙂 gorgeous as ever, great one.
Ah, you’re so sweet, Filipe. Thank you! 🙂
Although purple is my favourite colour, in flowers and in all things, yellow is simply the most cheerful of colours. As our day is clouding over, this is a day brightener for sure!
Glad this photo is a brightener for you, Paula. 🙂
Lovely shot….oh for spring…uk is grey grey grey..

Thanks!

Thanks, Rebecca! Glad you like the image. 🙂
Beautiful happy flowers 🙂
Thank you, Mufidah! 🙂
Lovely daisy! I am struggling still to shot yellow color of some flowers 😀
Happy yellow! Whatever that beige thing is behind the focused flower, adds a lot to the overall ‘color impact’ of the yellow flowers. It’s a great background that enhances the image, is what I’m trying to say. 🙂 So, great composition getting that in there.
Amazing how a picture could change how you feel, amazing photo!
