Ok but I now need to know your process?? This is gorgeous?? Like is it your lens? Your actual camera or is this so crisp because of editing?? Positively stunning!!!

Great shot!!! I especially love how you can see the detail so clearly in the center.

Not gonna lie, that's probably the coolest photo of a flower I've ever seen.

Would you mind if I used that photo as a painting reference? It's so beautiful & I love the water droplets. I won't use it if you say, no.

I never liked orange until one year I was so sick of pink and purple that I bought a flat of orange osteos. Now I love orange.

[coughs quietly] The most perfect shot not including Lucy or Greyson that is, because those are all perfect... 🙂

My sister is kind of a snob about flowers, but *my* house is surrounded by daisies and tickweed, lol (and a bunch of other stuff, but when in doubt… late-season osteospermum and coreopsis from the tragedy rack have never let me down 👍)

I’m a sucker for African daisies - something about them, if I look at them in the sun, I can allllllmost see all those wild colors humans aren’t supposed to pick up (but birds find so appealing). I have a lot of these, in maybe half a dozen colors…but the orange is my favorite.

This is a book cover!!! Gorgeous gorgeous, ahh! The tiny dew drops are making me thirsty lol

anyway this is maaaaaybe the most perfect shot I’ve ever taken; it’s not fancy, but I’d just watered the yard and the African daisies were just… out there, looking this good for no damn reason on a Wednesday
