Daisy Day

The calendar has once again brought us to another August 22rd, Daisy Day here at The Old Blog.  We take a little moment and remember Grammie, my Grandmother who passed away on this date 15 years ago.  The traditional method of remembrance has been to post the photograph of a daisy, a flower that holds many memories of our time together for me.  Being a staunch traditionalist at heart, we continue it again this year.  Our Daisy this year comes from the front yard of the Head Office. It was chosen by a committee of three.  Myself, the Heir Apparent and The Crown Prince.  Though to be fair, he was more interested in playing hockey than searching for the right Daisy.  I always tell The Heir Apparent to look for little details, as Grammie was a fan of them.  She spotted that little yellow speck of pollen and felt it was just the right detail we needed.  I do believe that Grammie would approve.  The photograph was taken at f/7.1, 1/200sec, ISO 100 at 70mm with some bounced flash to bring those little details out.  Hope you like this one Grammie.
