Sunflower

Here's a classic late summer image snapped yesterday on my way home from my walk along the seafront. This Sunflower (Helianthus) reminded me that autumn doesn't actually begin until the equinox on the 23rd September (next Tuesday). Then summer will officially be over. Our summer this year has been exceptionally nice. It seemed a little warmer than usual. I hope yours, in whatever part of the world you live, has been as pleasant.

Sunshine!

We stopped to get fresh veggies at this local farm stand, Silver Rill Farms, a local favorite for corn, among many other things. They also had this beautiful field of sunflowers and I am quite smitten with the deep red ones. - Fern
