Description
A sunflower's meaning differs from culture to culture. To some, the sunflower promises power, warmth, and nourishment — all the attributes of the sun itself. I like the name "sunflower" because I feel it's a flower that reminds us of the sun, like I use to draw in my childhood. Anyway, it's a flower that can't help but bring sunshine to yOUR day, wouldn't you agree!
Atop of Mt. Lemmon, Arizona, part of the Santa Catalina Mountain Range, in the Coronado National Forest, stood these marvelous sunflowers. The terrain was quite rocky and uneven ground. Perfect for flowers that grow without the intervention of people. Perhaps a way for self-preservation, not to be so easily bothered.
It was worth all the effort to capture a flower I rarely get to see. But I don't think the sunflowers were too happy about me tromping the ground around them. Perhaps that is why they were "Getting Sideways With Me!"

Great side view capture of this sunflower! So different! L/F
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you dear Deborah for those thoughts. I love all the intricacies of flowers, sunflowers especially have that special touch to them. It almost seems as though they are looking at something, checking things out. I love how the things I capture, share their story with me. How I would love to put a travel book together of all my captures, and the story behind the work. That would be a pleasure, as I love to write. I am glad you like it and have chosen it as one of your favorites!! 💕Janet
