Sunflower in the middle of a sunflower field at the Central Experimental Farm in

These sunflowers were growing in Norfolk, UK, in 2020. However, sunflowers will now always remind me of Ukraine.

Sunflower in our garden

Sunflowers from my garden

Perfectly shaped to catch the sun and attract pollinators. I find these a most interesting flower. The symmetry of the central portion is found throughout nature; from distant galaxies to the tiniest of flowers.

🎶[Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits)] 🎶

🎶[Sultans of Swing (Mark Knopfler)] 🎶

You get a shiver in the dark

It's raining in the park, but meantime

South of the river, you stop, and you hold everything

A band is blowing Dixie, double-four time

You feel alright when you hear the music ring

Well, now you step inside

But you don't see too many faces

Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

Competition in other places

Ah, but the horns, they're blowing that sound

Way on down south

Way on down south, London town

Check out guitar George

He knows all the chords

Mind, it's strictly rhythm

He doesn't wanna make it cry or sing

Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright

He can play the honky tonk like anything

Saving it up for Friday night

With the Sultans

With the Sultans of Swing

Yeah

And a crowd of young boys

They're fooling around in the corner

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies

And their platform soles

They don't give a damn

About any trumpet-playing band

It ain't what they call "Rock and Roll"

And the Sultans

Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

Creole

And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone

And says at last, just as the time bell rings

"Goodnight, now it's time to go home"

Then he makes it fast with one more thing

"We are the Sultans—

We are the Sultans of Swing"

- Mark Knopfler

sunflowers in bright sunlight

I'd been meaning to get out my little Helios lens for a while and with golden light outside (and half time in the World Cup Semi!) I dashed out with these sunflowers.

The distance I can use it at is very limited and I'd forgotten how tricky it is to focus, but oh...that bokeh...what fun!

so grey outside, i need some strong colors ...

Dorset.

It's November.

Soon, we catch these last glimpses of beauty

of the exhausted earth that is preparing to die.

Iconic late summer view at Grinter's Sunflower farm.

Sunflowers are the best.... they always make me feel happy!! Wishing everyone a good day/evening and thanks so much for your visits!

I photographed these sunflowers myself, with a tripod, by my house. Peace!

I love sunflowers! They're so bright and happy looking that I can't help smiling when I see one. I'd like to grow some, but I never think about it early enough in the year to get them planted in time.

4. Summer in 52 in 2018 Challenge

This is the 26th photo I've posted to this group, so I'm half way through the challenge at only just more than half way through the year! The only problem is that it gets more difficult now, as I've left the hard and the impossible ones till last!

With a sunflower you always have the sun in the garden or on the terrace.
