Sunflowers in the Wind

 
Actually, the thing that brought the biggest smile to my face today has no pictures, so I'll just tell you about that first. I stopped for a few minutes at a friend's house, and he has a big Old English Sheep Dog named Cunningham. I got a major dog fix with kisses and wiggles and happy dog looks. It made me happy all afternoon, whenever I thought about it.

However, these also made me smile. Jerusalem Artichoke, Sunchoke, Helianthus tuberosus. Just a lovely patch of them, dancing in the breeze. Enjoy.

  1. Dogs always brighten up my days. Mostly my dog, but even other people's dogs.

  6. Great shot with the bee and, of course, yellow flowers are my favorites.

    How nice to get warm fuzzies from the pooch. I know you must always be missing Maggie.
