After the daisy, I found a couple of other plants above the grasses and used them in some dof experimentation

The last daisy had an important part to part to play and I'd say the experiement worked very well Patrick. Four good, simple and effective pictures taken with different aperture settings resulting in varying degrees of focus.

Hi Patrick! Your mastery of DOF show in these captures, Crystal clear focus on the flowers.
I like the perspective on these as well.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

You are seeing it correctly...I am lying flat on my belly and shooting with lens skimming the grass tips. I look pretty stupid out there with the walkers....you can't even see the flower from their distance, so they have no idea what I am doing other than taking a picture of something......have to watch out for the clothes since I typically have another half day to go after shooting
