The Sunflower

                                    
                                            S outh of the garden
                                            U nder the yellow orbed sun,
                                            N uggets of gold glitter
                                            F or the joy of everyone.
                                            L eaves of green are staggered
                                            O ver slender seven foot stalks,
                                            W aving at all visitors,
                                            E ncouraging nature walks.
                                            R usty browns and lemon yellows
                                            S teal our hearts away.

    Wow!!!! This is one amazing macro of sunflower. Absolutely outstanding and beautiful. Yes, it's already autumn and sunflower isn't in all its glory and that is what makes this picture so special!!!

    Love this beautiful picture a lot!!!
