I was curious how the Bear Sunflower would look in black and white.
View more images in the pale as well as in color via this temporary sunflower gallery. Enjoy!

Last night, a very young friend gave me a gift. A long-stemmed sunflower with a very bear-y name. I told her that I was going to photograph it. “Why?” she asked, as little friends of that age ask quite often. “Why are you going to photograph it?” I told her so that I could share the beauty of her gift with others. And so here it is.
I took its picture throughout the day, as the sun shone through different windows, striking the many petals in many different ways.
It even seemed to bow its head as I moved it around the room as if to say, “Oh, yes, please do put me into the sun’s warm rays.”
At last I put it back upon its perch on a table covered with fellow plants. There it sits awaiting a new day of light to fall upon its form. Perhaps I’ll take its picture yet again.
Sunflower … with a Visitor!

Like my cousin Lorraine, I often don’t notice what’s in the middle of a flower until after I upload the digital images. For a while now she’s noticed that something has been eating up her flowers.
Now she’s got a picture of the culprit! If anyone out there knows what kind of caterpillar this is, please let me know and I will share your answer with her.
