The Joy of Sunflowers

I couldn’t resist bringing home these cheery sunflowers from the market a few days ago.  A girl just needs to buy herself some flowers every now and then, right?;)

    Wonderful photos! I love close-up shots like that! I remember the first time I traveled through North Dakota when fields of sunflowers were in full bloom. They all had their heads facing the sunshine. It was beautiful!
