Love the water droplets on the leaf and the pretty colors of the daisies. The paper daisy photo is beautiful!

Unknown said...

I'm in awed with these gorgeous shots! Very beautiful indeed. Good work Karen. I thought I saw you in the crystal clear raindrop on the canna leaf :)
Daisies are such special flower, don't you think? Simple yet lovely!

Karen @ Pieces of Contentment said...

You DID see me Ash, hunched over trying to take a photo while the breeze kept blowing....very observant!
The raindrop shot was taken with my Lumix + Raynox. The first, third (raindrops), fifth and last were all taken with my Lumix, the others with my Canon DSLR. I think all were taken using the Raynox attachment except the fifth.

poppies and strawflowers (at least that is what I have always called what are calling a paper daisy) are two of my favorite summer flowers--and that shade of pink is perfectly delicious!
