Follow the Sun

~Helianthus~

Growing up we didn't have enough sun or protection from nibbling deer to grow these magnificent annuals. I never appreciated Sunflowers until I began my current job 2 summers ago. Next door to our office is a fabulous display of Sunflowers, the shortest at least 4 feet tall, and reaching into the sky at over 6 or 7 feet, I'm guessing. They aren't the most graceful of flowers, but their worship of the sun as they rotate to follow it's journey through the sky each day is a dance worth admiring. I finally took a few minutes today to capture their beauty, before the first fall freeze knocks them down.
