Bring Me The Sunflower

2008.01.29


“Bring me then the plant that points to those bright Lucidites swirling up from the earth, And life itself exhaling that central breath! Bring me the sunflower crazed with the love of light”

- Eugenio Montale

Ok, so here is the deal. I believe it is never going to stop snowing. It snows almost every day. It's not that I don't like the snow mind you and it's certain we need the moisture. Ahh still what I wouldn't give to see bright yellow. I took these last summer and it has been hard to take shots out side when it seem to only clear up for a short while. So until a break in storms I will post a few of my favorites.

paintbox Sunflowers are such happy yellow sunny flowers. This is a good choice. It feels good to look at them.

aknor These are gorgeous...and very timely - we have been getting LOTS of snow, too, and although I love it as well a nice bit of bright yellow from one of my favorite flowers was much appreciated!

MHJphotos We've been getting a little snow here over the past few days as well, but it has everyone giddy!

These are so bright and cheery. Wonderful shots, and very timely for some it would seem!

ElanorDawn Trust me it will stop snowing the moment you wish it never does. Murphy's laws. I have it worst trust me, there no yellow and no sun, but there is no snow either: just grey clouds and rain. Oh, if only it were aummer and I were wearing a garland of these sunflowers.
