I have always loved fields of daisies (or any other kind of wildflower, for that matter).
Me, too.
They always elicit such a joyous feeling.
Great quote..I remember this feeling, I used to love daisy fields..
When I saw those kids running through those daisies, a million childhood memories came flooding back. I just had to try and capture that.
Beautiful photo! Oh my!
Thanks!
It’s one of those shots I can’t believe I got.
A lovely park … and photo! I love it when flowers grow like that …
I love Green Park. I went there several times for a nice place to read and write – it tends to be a bit quieter than its cousin, Hyde Park.
Ah, memories of growing up in a suburb with woods behind our house and a field of daisies beside it! Thanks for this!
I grew up in a place where daisies lined the roads. I loved picking them and bringing them home.
Sounds lovely!
I have got to get to London. Beautiful as always.
I’ll never ceased to be amazed at how beautiful London is, despite being such a large city.
Green certainly is a good name. We watched a movie that had me thinking about you “Oxford Murders” it had a lot of street scenes and a bookstore named Blakewell’s. I think. Anyway, strange movie but I loved the scenery.
If I’m not mistaken, Blackwell’s is in Mayfair (a borough of London) and I’m pretty sure I walked by it on one of my wanderings.
Couldn’t agree more. My mind, heart and my soul have play dates together every day.
Life sure is a lot more fun when we are willing to play.
sweet words for such a lovely photo! LOVE the pops of color amidst all the green!
I was planning to write a full poem for this photo, but the one line was all that came out. I decided to let it stand alone and it seems to be working.
This is one of those shots where everything came together. Light, color, and subject all aligned for a split second.
What a wonderful photo and memory! It seems like one of MY memories, even though I’ve not been at that spot. I think you’ve touched the archetypal memory bank with your photo and words.
That’s what I was hoping to do and I’m beyond happy that it seems to be conjuring some lovely childhood memories for so many people.
How I wish to be there! Dancing through the blooms, or laying down, looking giddily up through the petals. It’s the escapist in me!
It’s the eternal child in me!
Great picture.
Thank you – It’s a shot I almost didn’t take, but I’m glad my muse got the better of me.
I’ve mentioned before how much I like your pictures…this one just proves further that you have a great eye
Thanks!
Sometimes life throws you a beautiful scene and you just have to take the shot.
