Autumn around Saddle Rock is dominated by daisies in their second flowering. From a macro viewpoint, particularly fascinating about any daisy is its yellow head, a collection of miniature flowers, or florets. The florets open in sequence (outer to inner) and, in so doing, resemble an explosion in slow motion. (The thumbnails on the left lead to images that average about 40K.)
 

Seen from the side, the head spirals inward.
 
 

Doesn't it look like a science fiction movie scene: watching an explosion engulfing an entire planet.
