Let the sunshine in

Starting another year of PADing - I think. I know there's folks out there who have done years and
years of it so I'm not going to say any more about having done it for a year.
A quick shot this evening, taken just after dinner, when I noticed the evening sun shining on
a bunch of sunflowers on the kitchen dresser.
I love sunflowers - they symbolise summer for me and I like to buy them in the supermarket
as I haven't had any success in growing them although today I did a story on a local
gardener who has grown a whole plot of towering plants.

Nice effect; for some reason this one almost looks like a face to me. Something about the perspective, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

You need to have good seeds to grow good sunflowers. :) Get a few seeds from the man who grows big ones. I like the strong colors and contrast in this photo. Very well done and welcome to another year of PaDding. I'm glad you are sticking with it. V

It must be sunflower season :o) I grew one once when I was little - must've been little 'cos I think it ended up bigger than me!
