Bursting Sunflowers

Sunflowers seem to have a certain appeal about them. Sunflowers seem to have a constant smile on their face, like Pomeranians.  Of course, that is comparing sunflowers to Pomeranians, but both to me have a light effect.  Then one day I was shopping for summer herbs in Swanson’s nursery.  There on an aisle, I saw a sunflower just beaming.  The splashy yellow petals on the giant flower made me wanted to plant sunflowers in the yard.  It was the last one they had so I thought I would wait till next year to plant them.

In the meantime, I decided to enjoy them through by taking pictures.  Here are a few photos I took.

The breeze was smashing its petals, but it held on.

The wind blew a tiny petal right into the center.

It was so bright.  At first, I thought it was so bright that I need to wear some sunglasses.
