Wild Daisy  by happypat

Wild Daisy

These daisies were growing among the maize plants...not sure what their proper name is but they are very pretty!

So warm today...not complaining but it's hot work ironing all these sheets.

Three good things:
1. United Utilities have resorted to using ultra violet rods to try & get rid of the bug in our water pipes.
2. Brian in NZ has been asked to take part in an advertisement by the company he buys his palm kernel from. They are filming over two days, yesterday & tomorrow using a drone. Izzy was in it but had to be cut out of the clip because she wouldn't stop barking!
3. Our friend Daniel O'Donnell is taking part in Stricktly Come Dancing. He does a charity dance for us every year & is a real nice chap. I have danced a few quicksteps with him & he is a brilliant dancer....I think he will surprise a few!

A lovely capture of these daisies Pat , the featherlike foliage suggest that its camomile ,as Julia says --they have an mistakenly smell !!
August 20th, 2015  
@gijsje @julzmaioro @beryl Thank you all for letting me know this was camomile....I had no idea what camomile looked like....must be off down the field tomorrow to have a sniff!
August 20th, 2015  
Excellent shot
August 20th, 2015  
@happypat -- sorry the last part of my sentence makes no sense --I meant you can not mistake their smell !!
August 20th, 2015  
@beryl No worries Beryl, I knew exactly what you meant!
August 20th, 2015  
Very pretty daisies - you might see this sort of picture on a wall somewhere! Have to investigate this palm kernel thing Julia says' swapps - I wonder if she means Schwepps? @julzmaioro
August 20th, 2015  
@maggiemae No we mean J Swap contractors from Matamata who transport Palm Kernel among other things to farms Maggiemae !
August 20th, 2015  
They are very nice
August 20th, 2015  
I'm surprised they are using palm kernels - thought we were against palm trees being harvested as it rendered the land useless for anything and the animals lost their habitat....or am I thinking of something else?
August 20th, 2015  
So pretty. Fav.
August 21st, 2015  
lovely shot. Still looks very summery in your part of the world
August 21st, 2015  
really like your pov
August 21st, 2015  
@maggiemae no I think you are right, I remember Brian talking about it but I think they are still widely used right or wrongly!
August 21st, 2015  
John said he heard NZ shipped absolutely tons of this into NZ so they must need it - I mean what would they do without it!
August 21st, 2015  
This would make great wallpaper. I could disappear into that field.
August 21st, 2015  
Wonderful photo! Fav
August 21st, 2015  
@maggiemae well yes indeed!
August 21st, 2015  
Looks like camomile. I only know because I took a picture of some a while ago and someone on here told me! The things you learn on 365. Exciting about the filming and good news about your water on the radio this morning. The end is in site!
August 21st, 2015  
Very pretty, picture of summer. Sounds as if there is lots of good things going on.
August 21st, 2015  
Nice image.
August 21st, 2015  
Super POV and composition
August 21st, 2015

August 21st, 2015  
Nothing is lovelier than a field of daisies! Fav
August 21st, 2015  
This is fab! Hark at you with your celeb friends! 😉
August 21st, 2015  
ooh this is lovely Pat., the complimentary colours work so well
August 22nd, 2015  
This is very pretty. Fancy you being friends with Daniel O'Donnell. I love Strictly so I shall look forward to watching him.

What a pretty shot, I like that it is just 3 colours.
August 24th, 2015  
@dh Well I have got to know him over the years Delena because of our dinner dance where I always sit next to him....had a few quickstep too. He has bad press & comes over really badly on TV but a thourghly decent chap who dies so much for charity. I hope he does really well. They say he has as much rhythm as the Bkarney Stone...I think they will be surprised!
August 24th, 2015  
Pretty capture
August 24th, 2015  
Love the pov and focus on this. Looking forward to Strictly. Interesting for you to have someone you know to follow.
August 27th, 2015  
Nice pov and great dof.
