Daisy

Oh dear you know I am desperate when I start posting flowers ! I have been on a walk with Tui along the river bank this afternoon but although warmer it was so grey , nothing growing & the land is very dry.
It was either this or a bit of green bud on a hedge!!
Totally uninspired so here is one of the first daises growing on a rather brownish lawn.

Three good things:
1. Warmer weather.
2., Lovely B&bers turned up on the door last night returning from getting a wheel fixed in Southport for an old governess cart.
3. Masterchef....& I am still sticking to my 26points....hope I can manage to watch without raiding the chocolate egg we have on the dresser!!!

A beautiful little daisy -- so spring like --nice shot -- good luck with the 26 points !!!

[Phil Howcroft]

it's a beautiful daisy Pat, nothing wrong with taking flowers ......they always look wonderful when shot right...and this is shot right :)

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft Thank you Phil...was not so good getting up off the grass!!!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Thanks Beryl, must admit tonight I could murder a piece of chocolate!!

[Judith Johnson]

It may have been a dull day but this is a really uplifting shot - beautiful.

[Alison Tomlin]

Yay a desperate daisy ( I used that title once). It works and is very pretty

[Sarah Bremner]

This is a great photo whatever! No daisies in sight here...........in fact the snowdrops that were under snow for several weeks are still flowering....in APRIL!!!!

[Jennifer]

This works really nicely. I think you got the perfect pov, even though it was hard getting up again! I'm getting used to having muddy knees and the like nowadays! Good luck resisting the chocolate!

[Karin Hirsch]

This is a lovely close up and nice dof

[Barb Smith]

Gray days make for some awesome lighting. This is a gorgeous flower shot, Pat. Look at that dof and the perfect focus on the flower. I'm thinking you were down on your hands and knees for this one!

[Pat Knowles]

@barbsmith On my tummy Barb!!!

[Gillian]

Thank goodness for fall-back flowers on those desperate days! Great DoF nonetheless :)

[Christine]

Good flower capture

[Lesley Allen]

Love the perspective.....It must have been warm enough to lay on the grass Pat.

[Sue Wilde]

Gorgeous soft DoF. I like daisies

[Rick Schies]

Great perspective Pat, it looks lovely

[Jane Pittenger]

Maybe you think they are hum drum but this is really stunning

[Maggiemae]

I do agree with @phil_howcroft - it really depends how low you can go!

[Susan Knowles]

Pretty.

[Fanny Brogden]

A perfect desperation daisy!! Amazing we are raining again here.its a funny old world!! Just finished your recommended book, so sad............but lovely, thank you!! Gosh I'm on 18 points but manage to fit in a couple of glasses of wine!!

[Pat Knowles]

@fannyb Well to be truthful Fanny thought I should be on more like 18 points as my diet on 24 is not much different to my normal eating plan just no chocolate...i will be disappointed if I have not lost any on Monday !!!

[Pat Knowles]

@lesleyallen Yes dry & warmer Lesley!!

[JH]

Desperate or not I rather like it. (Mentally filed for when I'm a similar boat!)

[Judith Greenwood]

Everybody has a desperate daisy - it's essential for a 365 Project and I haven't seen any so far this spring so it's also a very welcome sight. How posh having a Governess Cart Wheel Mender in Southport!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Yup....why do we think of flowers as such a desperate shot?!!!!!! Think I've lost the plot re the points.....

[James Verdi]

It looks like you did a bit of grubbing for this pov. It was well worth it (easy for me to say that, I didn't have to get up from it). Great shot. Over here daisies bloom later in the year.

[Peggy Sirk]

Sweet springtime shot. I have a fondness for daisies...so simple, lovely, and unpretentious.

[Peggy Sirk]

PS ~ you are doing so well with the Weight Watchers points!!!

[Boxplayer]

Lovely springy shot - nice dof.

[fife]

Fantastic detail with the DoF! Nicely done.
