Sunny
I really needed a memory of summer that was iconic, where I could feel the heat, see the sun and appreciate all the activities that we can do when the weather is milder. Here was one photograph that summed that up for me. It was a bunch of these lovely sunflowers (= sun), in a jar on a farm stand step (= activities) in the shade so they didn’t wilt (= heat). Despite that, we can see that the sun has crept around to start shining on these, so one side is lit nicely. As I was putting on my heavy coat, boots and scarf to go for a short walk up the road, I remembered days like those, when you walk straight out of the cool house into the heat of the day, wearing light shoes and a tee-shirt. Those days when it’s too hot to wear a watch! These will return, so all I have to do is remember to appreciate the freshness of the winter, and days when the temperature is so low that the moisture in the air is like tiny diamonds, sparkling everywhere. With that strict reminder to myself to think positively of the beauty of this day, I take another little glance at this reminder of that lovely summer day. And know that the summer will return. I hope you all enjoy both thoughts today, friends. Flower a Day #480 View all posts on the Home page.

“Good day, sunshine”, as the Beatles said. And nothing says ‘sun’ like sunflowers. In this shot, the light is muted because of the angle of the sun but one can still feel its strength and remember the days of summer. Thank you, Ellie, for making me “feel good in a special way”.
Thanks Janet. Although the time was around noon, putting that jar of flowers in the shade on the step certainly kept them from wilting as I said but even so, we feel the warmth of that summer sun in those sunflowers. Good day sunshine indeed!
It is lovely Ellie. I can really feel the warmth when I’m standing in front of my wood fire. Love the way the sun is just catching the side of the flower. Also the center how it looks like there’s some in there that are reaching for that beautiful warm sun. Thanks again for sharing ,we may get a little sun today. Hope you have a great day. Hugs to you and Steve.
Thanks Linda. I’m glad the fire is keeping you warm, at least until the summer sun is here to change things up for us. Hugs to you both.
