Last Sunday, we stopped at Topsmead State Park to take in the formal gardens and have a walk around the grounds. There are some very beautiful wildflowers around this natural treasure in Litchfield, Connecticut. Sunday was humid, hazy, and heavy with the sweet perfume of summer, ready or not!

English Daiseys. I think that is their name. I have them here too and they come up each year on their own. I like your picture of them against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy looking daisies... Great capture.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in with Sky Watch this week and helping to make it special.
ReplyDeleteTom :O)
Catch you up later Sandy
So beautifully positioned.
ReplyDeleteThe Daisys have just come into bloom this past week in our region and somehow they seem to have opened the door upon summer. A wonderful choice.

Scrapbooking and Photography
days like these are the best days to go out and enjoy a stroll.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures today. I am very fond of white flowers.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful composition, great angle
ReplyDeleteI love daisies, and these are beautifully photographed :)
ReplyDeleteI'm tempted to tell like Chuck Pefley, what it is said in France when we get Daisies : "Je t'aime, unpeu (a little), beaucoup (a lot), passionnement (passionately), pas du tout (not at all)." A little girl game.
ReplyDeleteI love Daisy, and all the flowers that looks wild, and non perfect. Thanks to share your natural bunch, Sandy. J'aime beaucoup.
I have just seen a mention of Pink Floyd and here you have "a lazy summer's afternoon".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome.
Sandy, are those wold daisies?? Beautiful! Especially with the sky as the backdrop :)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely white daisies! I like them. Nice Sky Watch! :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for dropping by. Perhaps I would have made a different title for my Sky Watch entry of I was able to take a shot when the plane was near the moon yet it was flying way to fast for me to catch up.
ReplyDeleteThere are daisies everywhere where I am in the UK. Great survivors - and we all call them lazy ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful summer sky:)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. Daisies are my favorite. And they are gorgeous against that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteso pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese are both very summery, Sandy. They make me want to run barefoot throught the field! I especially love the second shot, it reminds me of a quilt I once made of daisys, framed by blue and white... art imitating nature, of course!
