FOCUS FRIDAY: SUNNY


LUCKY DAY

Common Knowledge:
On a sunny day,
never take photos
between
10 and 3.

Throwing caution to the wind
(literally -- it was beastly windy)
I set out bound for a local
garden center
to take some photos
ANYWAY.

Sun
(and wind)
beating down,
but I was
LUCKY
that the conditions
rendered the
petals
of this
BLACK-EYED SUSAN
almost
translucent.
MADE ME SMILE.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure,
but scattered along life's pathway,
the good they do is inconceivable.

- Joseph Addison -

Sunny
Smiles.

    Sunflowers are my mother's favorite. I think about her every time I see them and get a smile on my face. Your quote could not have been more perfect!!!

    Not wind, rain, or hail can keep a photographer away ;) Good capture! Black Eyed Susans are one of my favorite flowers, although I prefer the climbing vine variety.

    Yes, sometimes you just have to break the rules to succeed. I love take shots of backlit petals and leaves. Nice shot!

    They are beautiful, sunny flowers - it would take a truly grumpy person Not to have their spirits lightened a bit by blackeyed Susans!

    Beautiful shot! Shooting in challenging conditions always makes me adjust and shoot what I might not have looked at before.
