Daisy Head Mayzie by Karen Scrimes
My daughter Kelsey and I had been playing around taking some pictures when I had the idea to have her looking up as if something were coming out of her head. In the back of my mind I was remembering a children’s book by Dr Seuss titled Daisy Head Mayzie. The book is about a young girl who suddenly sprouts a yellow daisy from the top of her head, and the resultant chaos the ensues. Image taken with Canon 40D and Canon 24-105mm lens + external flash. The extract below was found on the internet: Dr. Seuss was dead, but his widow had discovered one last manuscript. Ten years later, Seuss’s sketches for its illustrations were finally expanded to create a complete story. The book is dedicated by his widow “to the ongoing presence of Theodor S. Geisel…Dr. Seuss.” And in “Daisy-head Mayzie”, the narrator is even represented by the ultimate Seuss symbol – the Cat in the Hat! Remember the little girl whose house was visited by the Cat in the Hat? Mayzie looks a little bit like her! She’s got blonde hair and round innocent eyes – but one day at school, “something peculiar was going on.” On the top of her head, she’d suddenly sprouted a daisy! And it befuddles even the adults, including Mayzie’s teacher. I love how the characters have names that sound like Seuss-ical rhymes. The daisy’s confirmed by Einstein Van Tass (“the brightest young man in the whole of the class.”) The girl’s teacher is “Miss Sneetcher,” and she whisks Mayzie to the Principal’s office. And the Principal’s name is “good Gregory Grumm…a very wise man, just as smart as they come.” But most of all there’s funny drawings. Mayzie’s mom is a welder – she’s first seen wearing a blowtorch mask – while Mayzie’s father (with a dapper moustache) works as a shoe salesman. Dr. Eisenbart looks like your classic cartoon quack, with a bald head and tufts of hair sticking up under a stethoscope. And Mayzie’s super-intelligent Principal sits under an enormous arch of school books, staring at the flower through a three-lensed magnifying glass. The drawings seem even more playful with Seuss’s rhymes about the misplaced daisy. “I’ve seen them quite often in fields growing wild. But never before on the head of a child.” The daisy gets bigger, and soon a scheme hatches in the mind of Dr. Eisenbart. “I think that Mayzie and her plant / Could help me get a research grant.” Dr. Seuss seems to be hiding a subversive message in his book. Yes, there’s a daisy on the girl’s head – but the grown-ups all have their own agenda. Soon the mayor has converted Mayzie’s flower into a campaign issue. A Hollywood agent named Finagle appears, offering Mayzie his business card. Eventually her miracle is being commercialized, with “Daisy-head burgers and Daisy-head drinks, Daisy-head stocking and Daisy-head sinks.” But Dr. Seuss has one last twist in the story, since Mayzie believes that she’s lost all her friends. She sits in despair, convinced nobody loves her. And soon all the petals of her flower start dropping off one by one. Why? Dr. Seuss explains in a rhyme. “You know about daisies. When love is in doubt, The job of a daisy is Try and Find Out!”

Anne by Patrick Monnier
A recent portrait of my daughter, 8 years old. In this picture I was more interested by the volumes than by the texture. It was a sunny day, and I put a big white umbrella to soften the hard sunlight. A very simple lighting equipment in fact. Canon EOS 5D, 24-105 f:4 L IS USM / f:4,5 – 1/80 sec – 100 ISO / In my garden, Essertines, April 2009.

Santa On the Go by kjgordon
It is time for Santa to get busy…...... / acrylic on fabric / / / / / Of all the recordings I like this the best….............. / So get Ready…............Sing along…....... / Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, / Right down Santa Claus Lane. Vixen, Blitzen, all his reindeer / Pulling on the reins. / Bells are ringing, children singing, / All is merry and bright. / Hang your stockings and say a prayer, / ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight. Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, / Riding down Santa Claus Lane. He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys / For boys and girls again. / Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, / What a beautiful sight. / Jump in bed and cover up your head, / Because Santa Claus comes tonight. Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, / Riding down Santa Claus Lane. He doesn’t care if you’re a rich or poor boy, / He loves you just the same. / Santa knows that we’re God’s children, / That makes everything right. / Fill your hears with Christmas cheer, / ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight. Well, here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, / Riding down Santa Claus Lane. He’ll come around when the chimes ring out / It’s Christmas morn again. / Peace on Earth will come to all / If we just follow the light / Let’s give thanks to the Lord above, / ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight. ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Lovely bird baby kookaburra in LA Zoo by Meeli Sonn
Kookaburras (genus Dacelo) are large to very large (total length 28–42 cm/11-17 in) terrestrial kingfishers native to Australia and New Guinea, the name a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, which is onomatopoeic of its call. Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which is uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter — good-natured, but rather hysterical, merriment in the case of the well-known Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae); and maniacal cackling in the case of the slightly smaller Blue-winged Kookaburra (D. leachii). They are generally not closely associated with water, and can be found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, but also in suburban and residential areas near running water and where food can be searched for easily. I saw these kookaburra babies in Los Angeles zoo. Taken with Nikon D 50.
About This Group
This is the group for images and or words that capture the wonderment, joy, and innocence of childhood. Share a story of a meaningful moment in your childhood, or write about your own children/grandchildren, etc. I especially love quotes. If your child said something very funny or inspirational, share this with the group. I would also love to see members posting tutorials and advice on child photography and techniques.
As for the images, you may post an unlimited amount, and you may post any style: closeups, portraits, black and whites, photo art, fantasy, vintage, etc. I especially love theme based images that have a topic or tell a story. You may also post images of children interacting with animals or adults, but only post your best. Your images should be creative, artistic, or evoke emotion … Something that sparks the imagination. Before posting ask yourself if this is a story or image that other people would find engaging.
The only styles of images that are unfitting for this group would be ones suited for editorials unless there is some creative aspect to them, or snap shots; eg. a child photographed in a cluttered room, etc. Please keep the images somewhat commercial and artistic.
Also please abide by RedBubble’s content guidelines. That means no nudity, however innocent, as unfortunately we have to be very careful. The only exception is small baby photographs – but please use your discretion.
