A garden of Sunflowers beckoned to me -
Come join us, my lady, and joyous you'll be!
We're large ones and small ones, some dainty and fair,
And even some delicate to wear in your hair.
We follow the sun, swaying slowly without a care,
We have a new dance that with you we will share.
Gently hold onto our leaves, allow us to lead the way,
To our Sunflower two-step, dancing throughout the day.
I couldn't resist them, so dandy a sight!
So off I did go in my Sunflower flight.
What a glorious time, right up til twilight,
And then I had to bid my Sunflowers good-night.
So happy were we, a long day filled with fun,
Upon leaving I kissed them, each and every one.
So tender the moment, as I turned to leave.
With eyes brimmed with tears, could I truly believe?
OH! It was so true!! I then knew it to be!!!
I had to smile, 'cause they were all winking at me!!!!

They are joyous indeed and I love them too.
Your second shot in backlight is fantastic as the the petals filter the light for the details on the seeds.
Where did you find this beautiful, warmhearted poem? It was a pleasure to read each line of it.

What a season it's been for sunflowers here in NW Washington, eh?? We've got a dozen volunteers that grew up next to the chicken coop from wild birdseed cast-offs! Such an unexpected and vibrant pleasure...

Amazing looking flowers! I don't like Sun flowers because after a while they look like a row of corn stalks and weed, but in these photos you would never know.
