    Thanks so very much for your wonderful comments, my friend…and I’m most grateful for the fave! I love sunflowers…they’re such amazing giants that proudly tower above all else in my garden…several of these beauties are well over 12 feet tall!

    what a riot of opening petals! it almost has movement

  • Karen Tillotson replied

    Thanks girlfriend…I could almost watch the entire process of this beauty opening today as the hot sun beat down on (all) our heads…quite incredible!!! Loved the way it was very slowly stretching out its petals right before my eyes!

    This is one of the best sunflower pics I’ve seen…the way the petals lay across the flower as if it were hugging it…and so crisp and clear…great job and a fav of mine.

    Thanks dearest Angelinabobina…(and for the fave too!)...I just now checked on this beauty and a few more petals have opened up to reveal itself…it’s taking its sweet time…being a bit of a tease, really. (oh good grief, now I’m humanizing the sunflowers…shouldn’t the dogs be enough?? Don’t answer that….LOL)

    Aren’t sunflowers just the most amazing things? Just stunning! Reminds me of a teenage girl – ready to bloom!

  • Karen Tillotson replied

    Thanks for your visit and wonderful comments Alice. They are indeed spectacular flowers!

  • Mila Birger

    Mila Birger

    Cute, beautiful image. Also, the name of the picture makes this flower almost human…

  • Karen Tillotson replied

    Thanks so much Mila for your visit and great comments. I tend to humanize most things I look at and photograph…hence, the titles I choose sometimes. I’m a little odd that way…lol. =)
