Black-Eyed Susan
Squared – SQ126
A few years ago, when I started working in Syracuse and was traveling the thruway everyday, I noticed that the state was planting wildflowers. There are whole areas dedicated to them. There is a Text Stop a few miles from Verona on the Westbound side that has two areas planted with the flowers. The area between the off-ramp and thruway at exit 48A has another area. As I passed these areas everyday I told myself I needed to stop and grab some images when the flowers were in bloom. Yesterday, in the 90+ degree heat I finally stopped. They were beautiful… it didn’t hurt they were also a favorite of mine. 🙂

Oh, you are so in trouble! If you thought I went overboard with the dandelions, wait until you see me with the daisies. I was standing in the kitchen working on my dinner when I noticed small white spots out in the pasture behind the house. At first I thought dandelions, but no, too white… daisies!
As soon as dinner was done I grabbed the camera with the macro lens and walked out into the field to find me some daisies. As luck would have it, even the wind died down for me. Mother Nature was obviously on my side or she is a fan of my daisy pictures. Either way, the hunt was on… and the summer of overloaded daisy pictures has begun.
