Daises 2

I went over to Central Park last week to start shooting fall foliage 

only to discover that I was a bit too early.  

It's always tricky trying to catch spring and fall at their peak.  

But, since the park never disappoints,

I stumbled instead on a beautiful display of daises in the Conservancy Gardens on 105th Street. 

This is a lovely area of the park if you haven't seen it.  

Six acres of formal gardens, three varieties -- French, English and Italian. 

 

Well worth the schlep.  

Here's a link to the website if you want to learn more...

Meanwhile though, as delightful as the daises were, I think the highlight of the visit was photographing these birds in the fountain.  I have photographed birds in this fountain many times, but have never seen them so animated before.  It kind of made me wonder what was up!

Cheers,

PJ
