Skagway, Alaska, USA. Historic Skagway was the staging place for prospectors seeking their fortunes in the Klondike Gold Rush. Others were enterprising individuals seeking to make money off of these starry-eyed fortune seekers. Among them was Levi Strauss; and a number of ladies who offered other things for sale. Today, the Skagway Inn is a bed and breakfast in one of the former houses of Pleasure Alley, the red light district. A delicious lunch is offered there today, after which a walk through their gardens is the most pleasure offered at the Inn. A cluster of daisies had some poppies interspersed. What was not realized at the time, was that this spot marked the starting line of the Great Alaska Fly Race. Enjoy!

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
I don't think I ever see daisies without thinking of that old Doris Day movie "Please Don't Eat The Daisies." This is a great display of them, along with some extra goodies. Makes a really nice DT. Well done on this Foofy Friday, Thad.

If my comments on F² images are repetitive, redundant, monotonous, tedious and superfluous, it's my fault, because good F² images are never dull and boring to me. So, please let them come Thad.

Poppies and daisies! What a combination in this delightful shot. Wasn't Levi Strauss creator of blue jeans?

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
Very nice daisies, Thad. They look beautiful, fresh, bright and dainty.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
The daisies shine brightly against the green background. Nice foofy shot Thad.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
A very fine shot of these lovelies.

At first I was ready to say they were all perfect, then I spotted the flies guess they thought the blooms were perfect also. Lovely.

Oh what a fresh looking capture, just love daisies. In full view you can see there are some bugs on the pedals and also some holes. Thanks for the history of the location.

A lovely combination of colours in your photo, Thad. A good capture of the daisies and their many friends.

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does. ~William Blake
Anyway, this is a fine shot of the daisies, but my days of commenting on flower shots are nearly over. I'm not allergic to flowers, and I don't hate flowers. They're pretty, colorful and serve many useful purposes. But the flower shot has run its course in my miniscule world. In the future I would be honored to comment on your beautiful landscapes of Alaska, the rocky coast of Maine and the charming architecture of the Carolinas. But my flower critiques have become repetitive, redundant, monotonous, tedious and superfluous.
