kinda freakish, ain't it?

i'm bored inside the apartment and nothing exciting around my desk at the office. it had been a beautiful day and i've been wanting to go around and take photos but didn't have a chance. so this afternoon, i set about going to the marina and catch the ducks but i passed by the parking lot and i thought i'd revisit the daisies. they're on their way out and it took me a while to find this baby here. i photographed this back in july when the flowers had just bloomed. (see http://one-photograph-a-day.blogspot.ca/2012/08/day-886-freaky.html )

and since a number of people had posted flowers from their garden, i thought i'd post this to share with you. and since i used the macro function of the camera to capture this, thought i'd tag it for as my first stab at my my 'get pushed' assignment from my partner this week, patty @socalgal.

thank you for your kind visits and wonderful comments; know that they are much appreciated.

Very odd bloom- alot like echinacea but not. Glad you have a garden to go to.
