Cosmic cosmos

Sometimes it’s just about what we like. I like cosmos. And I like this image.

Nor much more to it than that.

Did I mention I love daisies?

I can’t help it. They are what is blooming right now and I am constantly drawn back to them, no matter how many photos I’ve taken of them already.

I love their bright sunny faces.

I just remembered that they are from the family asteraceae, which includes sunflowers, calendula, echinacea, chrisanthamums, dahlias and zinnias, all of which I also love.

Guess you’ll be seeing a lot of asteraceae images from me.

Susans in black and white

I love daisies!

All kinds of daisies and daisy-like flowers. I love their colors, their flat faces, round centers and perfectly radiating petals. They evoke in me an almost childlike delight. For years Gerbera daisies were my favorite birthday flower and I always had to have some on my day.

I love the colors of these gorgeous orange/golden black eyed Susans but more than anything I simply adore the shape of them. So I chose to render this image in black and white.

But I couldn’t just ignore the original colored one, so here it is too:

Same photo but in color (and a bit saturated)

This was taken in late afternoon/early evening which gave a really nice lighting effect. Even though I photographed these same subjects last year I find that this lighting made for a much nicer image.
