Well, I thought we may need a bit of sunshine today, left over from last summer’s flowers! I don’t know about your location, but it’s cold and rainy here, and has been cloudy for a good long while!
Last summer the flowers in our local botanical garden weren’t as abundant as usual because of the severe drought, but despite that, some hearty survivors gave a good show!
This is some type of sunflower. These seem to range in color from reds to yellows. With brown, mahogany or dark purple centers, and can tolerate dry soil, and drought! Thankfully!!
I hope this brightens your day if you too are having a dark and rainy day! 🙂

Fabulous colour Rachel. Its grey and snowing here today so I can do with a dose of colour and that certainly hits the spot.
Hi Andy, thanks very much!! I hope we get some snow here pretty soon. If we have gray skies we might as well have some bright white snow!! 🙂
I love this. Beautiful Rachel. Your composition and DoF are spot on.
Thanks so much Edith!! The world felt like it just needed some color yesterday! 😉
Some of the very best colors I’ve ever seen, Rachel! Terrific details, too! That is one beautiful photograph, my good friend!
Thanks so very much my dear friend Toad for the wonderful comment!! 🙂
Stunning colours.
Thanks so much Mark!!
