Daisy
Unpretentious Beauty
A bunch of wild daisies that bloomed annually and self propagated liberally every spring. I love the simplicity of white petals and bright yellow centers standing out against a blur of green foliage.
These are from a patch of daisies that we welcomed every spring in our yard. Every year the main patch would expand a little and other little patches would pop up in the lawn nearby.

The Wild Bunch
An abundance of these daisies spring up in our back yard every year. They are a welcome, cheery sight; at least for the short season they bloom.
One of the aspects of this photo that I love are all the perfect imperfections of these wildflowers.

Bride and Bridesmaids
Sometimes, it’s the simple beauty that most easily captures me. Pleasing colors. Interesting shapes. A bit of texture. Uncommon perspective.
I found this collection of flowers while on another photographic mission. I was out early one morning to snap some photos of a couple of tall ships that were docked in the Kewaunee harbor. I parked my car in a lot near by and started working. At some point, I looked back and noticed a beautiful flower garden surrounding a nearby home. These flowers – the white one, in particular – immediately caught my eye.
I took quite a few photos of the ships, but this one may be my favorite of the morning.

Sun Worshipers
A patch of wild daises await the sunrise on a rural Wisconsin morning. This was the scene I captured a few days ago where our lawn meets the farm field that surrounds our property.

Daisy Delight
They say life’s simple pleasures are the best. I submit the simple daisy as supporting evidence.

Thriving Mist Daisy
I found this delightfully healthy bunch of daisies growing wild in a ditch near my home. I photographed them on a foggy morning, which provided the moisture.

Simple Pleasures
Sometimes, life’s simple pleasures are the best. There’s nothing fancy about these wildflowers; found growing along a roadside. They are simple and beautiful in their simplicity.

Sunny Side Up
I put the macro mojo to work on this flower photo. It’s a Gerbera Daisy I picked up from a local florist…just to photograph it.
Gerbera daisies are big, bold and beautiful. They are nearly perfect, so much so, they’ll make you wonder if they’re artificial. Geberas bloom in nearly every color (except true blues and purples) on long, thick, sturdy stems. You can expect them to last a week or more in the vase, making them a favorite of flower arrangers and home decorators.
It is well worth looking at the larger version for the details of the flower’s center. To see it, just click the photo.
Daisy in the Dark
One delicate bloom holding it’s own against the relentless, encroaching darkness.
This is a daisy growing wild in our yard. Of course, when I took the photo it wasn’t dark. The image you see is the result of “processing.” (For bonus points, compare this image with one I call Unassuming Charm.)
To see more of the detail in the petals, click the photo.
Unassuming Charm
“Thou unassuming Commonplace Of Nature.” ~ William Wordsworth
This has been a banner year for daisies in our yard. They seem to be popping up everywhere. It’s also been a good year for the orange hawk weed you see in the background.
