Description

First, I have to say that this flower is not actually a 'Buttercup" flower (Ranunculaceae.) I am not positive what kind it is, but am guessing it to be a type of daisy (Asteraceae.) BUT, when I look at the image, I just think "buttercup," and so I have used my poetic license to title this as I did!

I have hundreds (ok, maybe over a thousand) flowers growing in my yard . . . but I still have difficulty cutting any of them to bring inside to enjoy! I love all the color in my garden and kind of feel guilty cutting them and thinking they will die just a little sooner than otherwise. Little crazy, I know.

So! I really enjoy when my daughters bring me bouquets! I love how they brighten a room, how they smell and best of all . . . I can photograph them rain or shine! So this lovely little jewel was in a Mother's Day arrangement. What I find really cool is that this is a very tiny flower! probably considered a 'filler' by the florists . . . but like so many things in life, nothing is insignificant . . . everything has value and purpose . . . and it is nice to appreciate the little 'workers' that surround the stars of the show!

I also did a variation of this in black and white that gives it a very different feel. Please look for both in my "Series' Collection. Thank you so much for looking at my work. I really appreciate you spending a moment of your day with me!

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
