This is one of six small sunflowers my wife bought off an Amish farmer. She was going to give them to our friend who just passed away on the 16th. [BoB]
I apologize for being so inactive as of late. Between our friend's death, buying a new computer, trying to transfer files from the old to the new, and learning new versions of PhotoShop and Lightroom I have been busy. Hopefully, things will start to smooth out from now on.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend... with this and all you've been through it is no wonder you've been inactive. Welcome back! I like the dark tones on the sunflower... though somber it is quite beautiful.
