Baby and Sunny
Here are my bonny wild sunflowers - Baby & Sunny that I wrote about a few blogs back...
They just started growing - out of the blue - in our handkerchief sized lawn at the back of our flat.... (from the sunflower seeds that the birds get in the winter....)...
Oh....what a joyful discovery it was ....
Moreover, Chris, (i.e Helen Mirren in the movie Calendar Girls) puts it soooooo perfectly that I have really nothing else to add to it....
Here it is again, in case it is difficult to read it on the photo....
"I don't think there's anything
on this planet that more trumpets
life than the sunflower.
For me that's because of the reason
behind its name. Not because it
looks like the sun but because it
follows the sun. During the course
of the day, the head tracks the
journey of the sun across the sky.
A satellite dish for sunshine.
Wherever light is, no matter how
weak, these flowers will
find it. And that's such an
admirable thing.
And such a lesson in life."
- Chris//Helen Mirrren
in Calendar Girls
And Mr Wilde put the last few days of the sunflowers so beautifully...
(see pictures of "Sunny" on 30th & 31st Aug) :
"The gaudy leonine sunflower
Hangs black and barren on its stalk,
And down the windy garden walk
The dead leaves scatter - hour by hour."
- Oscar Wilde
What more can I add to all this except my photos....?
Signing off for now.
