The plants have been cut down, frost has made an appearance for several nights, there hasn't been much sunshine at all, yet this bright eyed and beautiful daisy has appeared to greet us each time we open the door! It has magically grown from the chopped down stalks of it's brother's & sisters. I felt that it deserved some recognition for all it has endured! Enjoy! Comments & critiques are welcomed here ;=)

Life goes on! A beautiful and persistent flower! You really did her justice, maybe even mortalized her with your photo. Nice work!

he loves me, he loves me not ;) guess we'll have to wait til Spring to find out. What a lovely post Mimi. She just wanted to say hello one more time before the sight of white snow covers everything with a blanket. Lovely post with lovely color and lighting. A keeper for sure. Thanks Mimi

Looks as though you have solved your woes. Focus is good! I agree that this had to be taken at this time of year. Very frosty here as well and nothing like this has made an appearance. Very unique Mimi!

Hi Mimi, my this is extraordinaire, so wonderfully bright and alive, and given further enhancement by that simply beautifully well chosen backdrop! It is a heavenly blue, soft and lovely! The clarity is superb, the best ever and I love it Mimi! Your images are always special in that they have that uniqueness, that renders them soft and with a feminine touch, as I have mentioned previously! They are charming, bright and beautiful, clean and appealing! I see this little flower appearing to you as a sweet little blessing, all things considered! Good job! Sincerely, Marilyn

We've still got a few of these here and there in protected areas, but none that look this good...she's still as fresh as a summer's breeze and captured so well by you. Thanks :)PJ

Great image Mimi, and yes the story is a must, time for all to die off and this one is certainly not listening very well, lol.

Picture Purrrfect . A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!! Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!
