I love Sunflowers. For some reason they bring me joy. I actually love all kinds of flowers but am often times drawn to the upturned happy face of the Sunflower.\u00a0 She looks up to the sky with hopefulness and enjoys basking\u00a0 in the sun’s rays. A tall sentinel standing guard over the others.<\/p>\n
A similar flower is a Coneflower. It’s petals push back from the center as if a stiff wind is forcing them back. Picture Leonardo\u00a0 and Kate at the bow of the Titanic!\u00a0 It too, is a favorite to gaze upon. The yellow is, in my opinion, striking to behold.<\/p>\n
Happy Autumn<\/p>\n
