Picture of the day - August 28, 2008
Daisies from "Land of the Giants"?
Photo courtesy of Scott April.
I remember watching a television show as a youngster entitled "Land of the Giants", a science fiction series in which a handful of
human sub-orbital space travelers somehow got their craft caught in a
worm-hole and ended up crash-landing on a strange planet where
EVERYTHING was approximately 12 times larger than their counterparts
back on earth. The poor stranded humans spent the bulk of every 60 minute
episode tying to avoid the evil giants as well as their giant dogs,
cats, cockroaches and, well...everything else.
Today's picture by photographer Scott April reminds me of the way
those poor folks must have seen the flowers they often hid amongst
on the "giant" planet. Imagine looking up at the undersides of a
bunch of daisies as if they are actually trees. A quite intriguing
perspective to say the least!
Here are a few words from Mr. April about his amazing image:
"This picture is an interesting one from underneath a patch of
daises
looking up at a vibrant blue summer sky. The daisies look
like giants
reaching for the sun! I really like this snap and hope
you do too!
Enjoy!" --Scott April
This photo was taken using a Fuji FinePix Z100 digital camera set at
1/240 second, f/6.4 and ISO 100.

Those daisy's are my grandmother Laura's, planted at my Moms,
photographed by my son. My Grandma was an award winning gardener who
passed about this time last year. Not to be morbid, but I'm sure
that she never looked at those daisy's in that way! She would have
been proud...
