Rudbeckia in the Hand

rudbeckia being held with fingers
I had some shots of my rudbeckia (black eyed susans) even closer up, but I found this one in particular to be a charming composition. The black eyed susans grow all over my front yard. I encourage them (by not picking the little seedlings when the full grown plant self seeds).

I love to plant black eyed susan they are pretty in summer and I think it doesn't need to much TLC. ^_^

There is nothing sweeter and prettier that a black eyed susan blooming in a field or yard. They are one of my favorite flowers. This macro shot is superb. The detail you captured and the vibrant coloration make for a wonderful shot. Nice work. Genie

Lovely shot of the rudbeckia-always a great flower to have growing in your yard. Not much work and they are back the next year. I actually like your hand in the shot. Very nice. Mickie :)
