    YEP! Tis power ! But lil Billie No Mates there is crossing stems with some other daisy stem !? Soooooooo maybe he has some mates after all …... ?!
    Great shot M8 !
    Well done. Classic gift card, get well soon shot !    ?? Don’t get me wrong ?? Have you read Gorge Orwell’s Flight of the aspidistra ? kinda reminds me of that feeling ? That would other wise take me a novel to sum it up uh !?
    Lots of Love and hART,
    Miss, S, Know Dog.

  • Urban Umbra replied

    Thanks SaRaH :)) Its a blade of grass caressing the daisy…I was going to removed it but
    ...I thought it would make a good sympathy card too ;)
    So wet here , can’t go out , have to look through old pics to find something to play with…can be fun too..see something in a photo, I missed or couldn’t quite put my finger on, first time round!
    I think I see what you mean about the aspadistra and the daisy…couldn’t kill that little bugger either :)

    So unlike you, but I really like it. Love the subdued colours and tiny bit of purple on the petal.
    What makes you think the flower is a boy? I think she’s female – and necking, not lonely at all.

  • Urban Umbra replied

    This flower was getting in the way of a low angle shot of a headstone…So eventually I thought, why not shoot the flower? And yes I think its a girl too…daisy is a girls name…which is why I called this one Billie, as in Billie Jean, as opposed to Billy, as in Billy the Kid. Not sure about the necking though….with a blade of grass? those inter-species relationships tend to end in tears ;))

    “Billy”...”Billie” – series or image-answer to yourself?
    Bit of word play?
    No matter…very nice indeed.

  • Urban Umbra replied

    Thanks mmargot… all of the above :)) Billy-boy Billie-girl …just looking for a companion piece to billly no mates, I guess :))

    beautiful. (I’m curious about the other stem? Maybe that daisy is a bit territorial?? Maybe he loved his ‘mate’ to death!!... lol. Sorry… I really love this one… just love to tease you too. ;o)

  • Urban Umbra replied

    its grass innit :) I was going to photoshop it away but got lazy….and thought I’d confuse people ;))

  • Jen Wahl

    Jen Wahl

    oh… wait… is that a blade of grass?? let me get my bifocals… hold on…. lol

  • Urban Umbra replied

    I tried bifocals once ….but didn’t like it , hehehe

  • Jen Wahl

    Jen Wahl

    ah… well, the fact that we are all of bunch of morons is hardly your fault…. I think I like it better with the ‘green’ thing in it… my mind loves to make up little stories about EVERYTHING…. how could I come up with a daisy murder without the little blade? (blade… daisy murder…. lol… I crack myself up… wait, wait… don’t delete my comment… :o) lol.

  • Urban Umbra replied

    poor little daisy :( what did she ever do to deserve murder ? I noticed a little tinge of redness on the tips of her petals (not that I was looking).

    Maybe I could do one of a chalk outlined daisy, with loads of blood spatter….or maybe I should keep taking the tablets (meds) :))

  • Jen Wahl

    Jen Wahl

    NO NO!! you MUST do the daisy chalk outline!! LOL… I say, go off your “tablets” (also, a word we use for a notebook of paper) and then, you’ll have a good ‘insanity’ plea when they try to pin the daisy massacre on you! ;o)
