***you are the sunshine of my life***




I call the sunflower my 'happy plant' because they always make me smile....I adore the majesty of them....seeing fields and fields of them growing in France is quite amazing...and it really fascinates me when they all turn around their faces to follow the sun...clever really..



this plant is about 10 ft high...you can see by the angle of the photo that I was on tiptoe...trying very hard to fight camera shake as I took the shot...not a bad effort for freehand ehh! it was taken about 11.30 am facing the west so the sun was behind me (obviously)..... I just loved the contrast in colour of flower and sky...so stark yet pretty...what say you?



Do you see the moon?

I adore sunflowers and love your photo. The yellow of the sunflower against the brilliant blue of the sky... you could be in France!
