Sunflowers...

...are up there with poppies, tulips and chincherinchees as my favourite flowers.  T'is the season for them, so there's a bunch on the coffee table in my living room.  I thought I'd take a few photos...and here they are...  call it pure eye candy.

I tried to look at them with fresh eyes, to catch pictures of areas, such as the back, that I wouldn't normally consider.  Partly, because I might well use these to paint or draw from, and partly because it's good for me to stretch myself and my thinking a little.

I was particularly intrigued by the centres, which, close up, don't read as they do from a distance.  I really must learn how to use my camera properly, instead of relying on the auto function...perhaps when brain fog isn't quite so much an issue.
