2021's Photo Challenge: Day 26 #APicADay

 I took the camera along with me to get the mail again today. Alright, I went quite a bit further than the mailbox, and my shoes leak a bit. I had forgotten to change the camera battery before heading out, and so I only got one chance at a couple of these before the camera wouldn't operate the shutter any longer.

Today's image:

Fuji X-T3 with XF 55-200 @ 200mm, f/4.8, 1/250 s, and ISO 1600

Not quite as immediately striking as some of the daisies I've seen, but this one is still in bloom.

There were some marigolds blooming nearby as well. I saw some more interestingly colored specimens nearby, but they were decidedly past their prime, and not in a convenient location for composing a good shot.

I did move this maple leaf, but only off of the sidewalk and onto the parking strip. But I only got one attempt at this particular shot, and I'd have liked a second or third attempt to make the composition exactly what I'd have wanted.
