Shining light, show and tell
Don't be scared, truth is hell
Down we go, wish me well
No one knows where we fell

.....this was taken at Sunrise but not of the sun rather the Moon making this a Moon-set therefore the sunflowers become moon flowers...hmmm! I shouldn't get technical - enjoy the pre dawn mood! (this was the Buck Moon)

The moon flower on our front porch bloomed last night in the rain so I just had to take a shot of it! So refreshing and beautiful!! Enjoy your Sunday dear friends!
There are no photo opportunities on these gray December days. There is an archive. August 2024 - Summer, is the coolest time.

Ipomoea alba, known in English as white tropical morning glory, moonflower or moonvine, is a species of night-blooming morning glory,[3] native to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, from Argentina to northern Mexico, Arizona, Florida[4] and the West Indies.[5] Though formerly classified as genus Calonyction, species aculeatum, it is now properly assigned to genus Ipomoea, subgenus Quamoclit, section Calonyction.[6]
Description
Ipomoea alba is a perennial, herbaceous liana growing to a height of 5–30 m (20–100 ft) tall with twining stems. The leaves are entire or three-lobed, 5–15 cm (2–6 in) long, with a stem 5–20 cm (2–8 in) long. The flowers are fragrant, white or pink, and large, 8–14 cm (3–6 in) diameter. The flowers open quickly in the evening and last through the night, remaining open until touched by the morning dew. On overcast days, the blossoms may remain open for longer. The flowers also tend to remain open longer during cool temperatures, which may also cause the segments to snag or tear as they open
