Sunflowers

Sunflowers are one of my favorite summer flowers.  They just make me happy.  It will be a while before ours start growing so until then, I'll have to enjoy cut flowers. Maralee

Day 303 – Sad Little Sunflower

I came across some sunflowers that are way past their prime.  The are such a happy flower when they are blooming in the summer but when autumn arrives and they lose their petals, their heads droop and they look so sad. Maralee

Day 284 – Red Sunflower

These red sunflowers were calling out to me to photograph them today.  Somehow I think these flowers are artificially colored too . . . the water started turning red when I put the flowers in.  But I still thought they were pretty. Maralee

Day 242 – Flowers

I came across these flowers in someone else's garden and had to photograph them.  The lighting was mid-day so it was quite harsh.  The only way I could get the sunflower was with the lighting in the back. The other's I tried to get close and avoid too much glare and shadow. Maralee
