SUNFLOWERS
– PUTTING ON A SHOW
August, 2010
CATCHING
THE SUN
Bob wandered out
at golden hour and caught these fantastic images of the sunflowers he’s been
growing for Jill and Andy’s wedding coming up in September.
THEY’RE
ALIVE!
Sunflowers seem
more alive than most other flowers in that they follow the sun. If you sit
still long enough you can see them rotate.
IRREPRESSIBLE
The sunflowers
laugh, catch the sun and throw it back!
FOOD FOR
POLLINATORS
Birds and bees
love the sunflowers, too.
SENTINELS
They keep an eye
on things, feed the birds and wave at us as we walk by.
TRANSITION
As day turned to
dusk, the sunflowers yield to more muted tones.
MEANWHILE,
BACK ON EARTH
The coreopsis and
moss rose are putting on a show of their own.
MOSS ROSE
Moss rose is one
of Camille’s favorite flowers. They don’t ask for much and give back
vibrant color in return. The bed we reclaimed last month is holding up
well despite pressure from the local garden bane, Bermuda grass or wire grass.
