Gift of the Birds

I love sunflowers but rarely think to plant them since my mind goes to vegetables. But we feed the birds sunflower seeds and they kindly planted a few of these in my greens garden.
I've decided one way to take pressure off myself is to not expect myself to post on my days that i work in Eugene. The days are way too long as it is and taking, processing, and posting a photo on top of that feels like pressure not delight. Hence my mass upload. Thanks to all who congratulated me and/ or checked in with me re whether or not I was continuing after completing my 1st 365.
Wow Jane, you should be very thankful with the birds... this is a gorgeous sunflower. Definitely you also captured it in an excellent manner.

That's a really beautiful capture, Jane. I don't think I've ever had a plant that I actually wanted growing from the birds' seeds. Lucky you!

Love your crop here Jane and love the contrast of the vivid yellow to the dark green behind the flower - nice detail in the petals

This is gorgeous - and so nice that it's a freebie!! Which was your 365th??? I know I've been a bit slack but I'm sure I checked in yesterday and it was your lovely crossbill I saw! Well congrats on a great achievement - most people don't finish - and so glad you're still with us!

@judithg I havent yet done a "365" shot. It may come at a later date. I've been busy readying three pictures for a local juried show. I suspect they won't make it but want to try

@jgpittenger Well you won't win if you don't enter! Glad I haven't missed 365!

Lovely photo and it is your project. Now that you have completed the year I think you can take it easy.
