this or that thursday: gerbera daisy

It's hard to pick an absolute favorite flower because there are just too many gorgeous ones to choose from. I do think if I was able to choose, my favorite would be somewhere in the daisy family, like this gerbera daisy...





That's all I have today, and now it's time for you to share. There are just a few rules.
  • submit the url of your blog post, not your home page
  • link up a photo that was taken by you
  • include a link back to my blog in your post (you can use the button or a text link if you prefer)
  • visit a few other blogs and leave some comment love 
Okay, just link up below!

    Me too. Gerberas, I love them. And then they ask me why, saying they are 'only daisies'. Yes, but what a daisy! That colour is so lovely. I'd like to see a colour chart of that image.

    I know how you feel, my daughter and I love the gerbera daisies. When she was little she always had to pick one from the nursery to keep in her room.

    Beautiful! The way you've captured this lovely flower makes it look almost 3D - as if I could reach out and touch those soft petals. Daisy's are really beautiful, aren't they? Amazing colors in your photo!!

    For me, it's a toss up between the gerbera daisy and the tulip. The daisy might be a bit more versatile to photograph, though - it looks great from almost any angle.
    I love your photo!

    Love that photo. Daisies are definitely in my top 5 favorite flowers. I'm also partial to azaleas, especially in the spring. They're blooming all over my college campus right now and I love it!
