Facing the Sun

(f6.3, 1/125, 42mm, ISO 160)


They look like small sunflowers or yellow daisies, but they grow in the wild like a weed. A beautiful weed in my opinion.


Don't be shy - leave a comment or email me.  I look forward to hearing from you!

You're so right there Scott..they are bright & beautiful weeds, wonderfully captured by you!

Sandra said...

we have these in the wild also and they are beautiful. this is really good, facing the sun is good for flowers and hard for photographers. i like the little bud at the bottom. the back side of flowers always interest me.

I like to thinks weeds are just a flower that got misplaced. Nice picture.

That's nice, simple but pretty. I might not have put the flower right in the centre though... have you tried cropping it different ways?

Rocket Man said...

I agree, Scott, they are beautiful.

The local birdlife would love those in my garden. A weed is only something you don't want in your garden. I have loads in mine, all of them beautiful. Aside from the flowers, it's a great picture.

Very beautiful indeed, and the lighting is exquisite.

Not only is this a beautiful 'weed' -- it's a beautiful photo.

Nice 'different' perspective.

Many sunflowers are wild. There isn't just the great big faced variety. But they all remind you of sunshine and smiles as your beautiful flower does...

Oh, I think this is the same flower I took photos of in Sonoita - I couldn't remember the name either. I like your idea of taking a picture of the back of a flower.

A definite sunflower, lovely. I love photos of weeds and seeds. Soon we will be seeing a lot of those.
