Texture Tuesday: Daisies Three

I've been MIA for the last couple weeks. Blogging, photography, and writing all took a back seat to catching up with a visiting sister and other out of town guests. In between making dinner and going to dinners there's been baseball games to watch and an evening of fireworks. I cherish the time I spent with my sister from Montana and miss her each day.

While she was here, we had a sisters day.  What better thing to do than go shopping?  We headed for The Green Awning Gallery where I picked up a milk bottle and a few vintage buttons.  Next it was on to Archbold, a quick stop at the nursery, Green Acres, lunch at Casa Vieja and browsing in the shop Ten Thousand Villages.  We took in a couple second hand stores in Bryan and ended our day at Stoney Ridge Winery, just a hop, skip and a jump from my house.  Sister days are always fantastic!

But now...things have quieted down and we've returned to our summer schedule. I'm itching to get behind the lens and spend a day photographing anything and everything.  I wish it could be right now during this mellow yellow June day when the thermometer stays in the 70s.

For Texture Tuesday, I photographed three daisies I cut from the fledgling cottage garden I started behind the house this spring.  I used the milk bottle and a red gingham cloth to create a simple scene.  After 33 shots, I wasn't pleased with any of them, but I chose the best of the lot, which isn't sayin' much.
