It's that time of year again when going to the market means fresh cut, locally grown sunflowers by the armful *^__^*

Yellow ones are okay, but personally I prefer the deep burgundy ones (Velvet Queen) or the brown-tinged Autumn Beauty ~ which I spied behind the table at the farmers market yesterday.

Teh Bob looked at the brown streaked blossoms and remarked that he'd never have thought to buy those...he prefers them brighter.

Mr. blue carnations and green roses has a dubious eye for colour when he's not being typically pedestrian in his choices, IMHO....

ANYway ~ I took the opportunity to play with them in the later afternoon with the camera, and must have been entertaining to watch as I lay on my back on the hard deck, squirming around a vase as sunflowers above my head rained pollen into my eyes and camera lens. >__<

So here we are...Helianthus annum spam:
