Sunflowers

Shoulder to shoulder
Yellow petals, smiling faces
A field of delight




sunflowers are grown commercially here. 
It is amazing to see fields of them..all facing the same way.

These precious flowers always do seem to be smiling. I have a "sunflower" room in my Tallahassee house and I know I'll miss it as I move to Ormond over Labor Day. We're having a nice reunion in New Jersey. Hope all is well with you! Love, Carolyn

Shades of Van Gogh, except your sunflowers are glorious rather than bizarre. Love, daver

Barbara, they are indeed beautiful. I see lots of them at the end of folks gardens and the end of cornfields. Excellent write. Love, Carol

They are beautiful and love the sun. Isn't it amazing how they don't chance planting after planting. They always follow what God prescribed for them. Keep writing. Sara
