The end of the season sunflowers ~
The bees are busy enjoying them 


and I appreciate the drying shapes.

    Are these from your garden? The seeds look ripe enough to be harvested. I like the last image the most.

    Gorgeous photographs! It's so fun to see something so familiar in new ways. I especially love the B&W version, although they are all wonderful.

    The detail you captured in these shots is awesome. I really do like the sunflower in the black and white medium. The bees are busy niggling away at what is left of mine, too. I wonder what is left to sip out. This is a grand series with so much variation. genie

    They are so very beautiful, aren't they? And you captured them so well, the details perfectly. I love them, but, also a bit sad to see them, as it marks the end of summer.

    There's not much I like more than sunflowers, they're just so happy. My next-to-last post was about an inspiring, collaborative project in downtown Phoenix where several entities are filling a 2-acre vacant lot with sunflowers. They can grow here year-round. Check it out if you would like:
