I went out again for sunflowers, but these are on the decline and the weather is hot and sticky again. I really wanted to catch them after a brief rain shower... but Mother Nature just would not cooperate. If it rained I was too busy and when I had the time... it was not wet. Maybe next year.
Not many were in good shape.... even if they were still bright and full flower, they were showing signs of a long season.
Many were much like this one, and when I see them with the petals all drying and wilted they remind me of a Raggedy Ann face with the fringed hair.
Another fringed faded sunflower.
And another Raggedy face. I wonder if this is where the inspiration for the flat featured face came from?
Even the fading, droopy sunflowers are beautiful in your photos!
ReplyDeleteYou might have something there about the inspiration for Raggedy Ann and most other flat faced dolls from long ago.
