The Final Curtain.......


The smaller sunflower is seeing its last days.  Gone are the maroon leaves of the flower and now the seeds are maturing.  I keep waiting to see when the birds start to feed on them.  Fall is here even though I am not ready for it to be here.

As I search for interesting and different photos for my blog I have to discern a good photograph from a pretty picture.  I have some really great shots of color that look more just pretty than one that stands out as a good photo.  This shot was selected over many different ones as the maturing flower creates an ugly rather than a beauty.  I still think there is a beauty in it at this stage and the leaves and stems really do create a great design.
