A sunflower droops over with a sleep look when all the seeds fill the head - its weight becomes heavy and can no longer stand straight up.

Continuing with the Sunflower study series:

You will see some of this approach in both untouched as well as processed concepts over the next few days. You'll see how my eye seeks for something different.

The new Professor found her barings and settled into School nicely. There were a few things still left to do before the term started officially next week, and many things to consider as she settled into her new role. For now, she pulled out a book - there was material to review.

I found this on a building, covered with metal siding, close to the Museum of Glass. Tacoma, WA

In John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester UK

For those who set eyes on Deansgate's The John Rylands Research Institute and Library for the first time, 'library' might not be the first word that comes to mind. This masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture looks more like a castle or cathedral.

When John Rylands died in 1888, he was one of Manchester's most successful industrialists with a personal fortune of £2.75million. The library was commissioned in 1890 by his wife Enriqueta Rylands in memory of her late husband.

This world class collection includes the oldest known piece of the New Testament, the St John Fragment. Other treasures of the vast, varied collection include magnificent illuminated medieval manuscripts and a 1476 William Caxton edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

A new flower for me - the African Lily or Agapanthus. The flower heads are big, full of flowers and rather drooping and shaggy - like a very bad hair day! So I took a few of the small flowers, and used the sunlight streaming through the window.

There'a a window, some bokeh and plenty of textures - so ....

Vientiane-Laos

I feel so special. After all my fears and thrills from my Monarch efforts this summer, I'm thrilled again to have the Monarchs passing through my yard on their way to somewhere. They've been just kindof fluttering through, one at a time, circling, occasionally making a refueling stop. So here's today's visitor, a male (I got so smart studying up). You can just tell by the smudge on the underside of his wing (I marked it). It's much more obvious from the topside. I watched for a little over a half-hour and it was all boy(s) - not sure if it was the same guy or more than one, since I only saw them one at a time. I sure hope he gets where he's going. What a joy to be a part of this cycle.

If you check this large, you can see how the eye is spotted to match the rest of his outfit. I find that fascinating.

LSE Library, London

As in image 1, this time wide open. The image is actually over-exposed (which makes the inner space of the flower "glow").

Caution...when someone tells you to get a grip...apparently around their neck is not what they meant:)))
