Early one recent morning I took a walk around the neighborhood looking for flowers to photograph. I found a few patches of Gaillardia. I love the cone in the center with all that texture, and the bright colored pedals. I spent a lot of time with these flowers. I shot it from several different angles, getting closer,

and closer,

This is my new favorite flower! I like it so much I’m going to purchase some and plant them in my yard, and hope they survive. I don’t have a green thumb.

Have a great week-end everyone!
