Green Thumb Sunday
Now that this sunflower is pretty much a dried husk I miss it and wanted to look back on a time when it was just about to blossom. It was huge and fun to photograph. And we’ll harvest the seeds for more sunflowers next year.

The sunflower is such an excellent photograph subject and my favourite flower too. A great photo – I say this every week but it is true.

Sometimes the structure of the bud is as beautiful as the flower. Your photo is great! Happy GTS,

Hi Drew,
The sunflower is certainly on that can be photographed at all stages of its growth and it is even interesting when it has finished as the seeds also make a good image.
Cheers Mark
Sara,
I look forward to your comments and I am very glad that you come by each week and comment. I really appreciate it. I just love taking photos of sunflowers.
Thanks Aiyana,
I go like how the bud looks, and with the fuzzy hairs on it are very cool. Thanks for coming back each week to comment and support my photography.
Mark,
I have been taking photos of this sunflower each day for a while for my sister. She is going to take the images to work with her and share them with her students.
Lovely shot, Drew, the fresh peach fuzz on the petals gives this sunflower a premature, innocent look. Great capture!
Thanks Scott. I hadn’t thought of it in that way before.
Yeah, man, you know what they say, “Art lies in the mind of the beholder” 😀
never heard that before but it is very true.
