163/365: "I liked pretending to be other people: I could reinvent myself, reinvent my own reality." ~ Helena Bonham Carter

Right now the wild daisies are in full bloom and the odd thing is that they only like to grow in the dryest, most inhospitable places possible: the gravel driveway or packed clay soil! It's crazy to me that they grow at all, and the fact that they bloom is just amazing to me!

I liked the way this one looked because it appears to be impersonating a coneflower! :D Silly daisy, stop pretending to be a coneflowr and pull those petals up into proper daisy formation! :D
