22nd September 2014 - Hang your head

I have been on the lookout for a field of sunflowers as I love their smiley faces. Finally this weekend down in Surrey I found one but sadly they were all well past their best. I liked the way this one looked so sad that summer is over and autumn is now starting to show it's face!!

Oh this is too sad. Someone I hope is going to harvest the seeds.

Great find, I love sunflowers but dying flowers also look really cool, sad but true :)

[Rosie Kind]

Yes but the seeds will be there for my cockatoo to eat so he will be pleased!

[Janiskay]

Yes the plant is dying but the seats will be there for the birds and squirrels to eat. Pride of life circle.
