I know summer is here when our Shasta daisies are in full bloom.

It is easy to look at them as a group and miss all that is going on in the white and yellow beauty.

But when I focus on individual flowers, I see other things.

Imperfections, over-the-hill petals, tiny bugs and…

…larger critters.

When I checked out this photo, I noticed a bee that was coming in for a landing. 🙂

I sent this picture and the last one to our brother-in-law Bob Stauffer to ask if they are different species or different ages as the markings seem different.

Maybe it is just the angle of the pictures.

It is fun to have time to check out the details in a bed of Shasta daisies.
