Thank you Murry, Maria, Jean and Debbie. I just love mother nature! You should have seen the whole field with sunflowers in various stages. Maybe I'll put more shots in days to come. Again, thanks! #6160205

To Cyn, Wendy and Ken - thanks to you too. I never expected this to get so much discussion. I just thought the subject was so interesting. I actually made it with my Sigma 200 mm lens and zoomed in on it to make it macro. I have lots of fun doing this. #6164200
