The sunflowers in the front garden have been late in blooming. They've spent an inordinate amount of time growing their thick green stalks very high into the air. Finally they've begun to show their glory.

So pretty. I was so suprised at the weight of a sunflower head when I was taking the seeds out for some pet food.
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing shots, they have so much texture, and vividness to them.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love sunflowers. I do, can you tell? I love them at all their stages in life, even when they are shriveling up and drying.
The green sunflower shot moves me, and I only wish that I could express in words, how I adore that shot. Great capture Cindy.

The first shot looks a little like a pin cusion. With flames. Striking.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the second one though. There's so much interesting texture and movement in this image.
P.S.
ReplyDeleteGreat message by Dieter F. Uchtdorf on creativity. I especially like his advice about not letting critics paralyze us.
Lovely! I especially love the one of the petals straightening out. They really do look like flames!
ReplyDeleteA couple of the neighbourhood kids have been growing sunflowers at school. Every so often, they have been allowed to bring them home and they nominated Mum as the plant-sitter! They still have a little way to go before they reach the flowering stage. It is good to know that kids are getting excited over nature. Mum has just given a lad from down the street some Cosmos seed heads. She told him to let them dry out and then next spring, to put them in a tray with compost and they will grow. He was thrilled. LOL

Hi, me again! I forgot to add in the last comment, I read your previous post and completely understand; having a roof over our heads and a warm house are two things we are extremely grateful for.
