Bye, Bye Sunflowers...

you will be missed!!
 
 
 
These images are from my last photo session with a sunflower on
August 31, 2013.
 
I find these flowers to be extraordinary.
The pattern detail in the center,
could only be created by Mother Nature!
And not only are these flowers beautiful
but they are an important food source for our feathered friends!!
 
Do you have a favorite flower?
I can often be heard calling any number of flowers my favorite...
truth be told, I could never pick a favorite!!

Your photos are beautiful, the clarity are so inspiring I could just stare at them and still see more details each time I look. The bee looks like he is posing for his portrait! I always look forward to your posts, they are just beautiful to look at and a great way to start my day! Thank you for sharing!

if i had to pick a fav - it would be daisies, sunflowers, black eyed susans ... so i have a theme going.

like you said in the post - it is too hard to pick a fav. because that list there does not even covered my total list of favorite flowers. ( :

Super photos.
Hard for me to pick a fav flower too , I love so many. I will tell you a few that splash the most color here on the farm ~ morning glories, zinnia, cosmos, ,and daisies yet we have great luck with so many types of flowers here.

Your flowers are incredible. I am always sorry to see them go too.
I need to pull all of my stalks now.

Wonderful photos of the sunflowers! I can't really pick a favorite flower. My favorite would be the one I am looking at at the time. :o)

Karen said...

Those are beauties Debbie! I love sunflowers.

Ruth Hiebert said...

Picking only one favourite flower is like asking me to pick only one favourite piece of chocolate.Sunflowers are very pretty,which these pictures prove so well.

i used to not like depictions of sunflowers, but i like the real thing a lot.

i like indian paintbrushes, bluebonnets, firewheels. pretty much prefer anything wild...

I was pleased to see that my daughter planted sunflowers in her garden this year.

Looking forward to seeing them again next season.

Adrienne said...

Love these sunflower shots! And I love sunflowers. I often say they are my favorite flower, but I really love hydrangea, too. Oh, yeah...and poppies.

Andee said...

Those are some beautiful sunflowers. I think I am going to have to plant a garden next year and include some of these.

simply bev said...

So hard to pick a favorite! I'd have to say that lilies and pansies are on the list though. Beautiful sunflower photos!

Muffie said...

I love sunnies, and I'm sad when they leave. So I cheat and keep some very real-looking silk ones in the house displays. There's just something about those huge smiling faces that brightens my day. Your photos are gorgeous.

Unknown said...

I love the pattern detail in sunflowers as well! Oh, I have so many favorites - peonies, hydrangea, poppies, tulips, garden roses - just to name a few!!!

Sunflowers have so much personality~

LeAnn said...

Sun flowers are so beautiful. We had planned on planting some this year; but it didn't happen. I loved these pictures and thought. I love all flowers but probably my favorite is roses. I love the smell and they bring back memories of earlier times with my hubby.
Blessings!
