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!
Shot with my 105mm macro lens at f/18.
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! 🙂

Our warm Midwest winter finally gave into the cold, snowy season it should be so seeing this sunny daisy makes me smile.

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!
Paula Turner said this on January 22, 2012 at 3:25 pm |
Glad this photo is a brightener for you, Paula. 🙂

Lovely daisy! I am struggling still to shot yellow color of some flowers 😀
Inge said this on January 25, 2012 at 8:14 pm |
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.
