I was outside during a thunderstorm and kept telling myself to go in...lol.

I'm an idiot.

The sun did come out later.

I have always thought sunflowers to be the "happiest" of all flowers. These pictures have really brightened my morning. Thanks.

You and this sunflower are now bonded.
I can't pick a favorite, the whole series makes me happy. The third from the bottom is simply regal. And the full on center shot looks like I could fall in.
A treat!

Thanks, Mira!

I've got one more sunflower left to bloom...it's a 'mini'...only 18 inches high with a small bloom. Just a miniature version of the 6 footers. I grew it myself.
