Black Eyed Susan

Went cycling with the kids down by the Bayou this afternoon, so got some nice shots. Lots of new flowers and grasses coming into bloom.

[Simply Amanda]

Gorgeous flower and composition!

[Paula W]

Like beautiful rays of sunshine, gorgeous colour and comp Issi.

[Stephanie Swift]

Gorgeous detail and focus, lovely dof and bokeh, fav!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Beautiful! Love the way you arranged this image (I know I could've said composition, but I'm looking for some different words today). Isn't it exciting with spring and summer unfolding before us there'll be new things to photograph nearly every day. Yippee!

And yes, out with the real name. "Lyn" worked great - it's my middle name and I've used it in a number of different social circles so it felt natural enough, but I thought I'd 'fess up and share the official moniker. Thanks too for note shared on the Kid-Goat's picture.

[Emma]

love the vivid yellow and almost purple centre

[Jo]

Beautiful shot. I too like the arrangement (like Denise, I'm tired of using the same words over and over) and that yellow is so bright and vibrant.

@lyndemc @joeymc Thanks ladies. I totally 'get' the problem of repetitive words - it's not easy to find different ones though! Let's keep trying however. :-)
