One of the fields near our house is growing a crop of sunflowers this year. Immature sunflower buds turn their heads during the day to track the motion of the sun (heliotropism). Generally, by the time they mature and their heads become heavier, they face the east in order to catch heat from the early morning light. The majority of the sunflowers in this field are facing east, but there are still a few that appear to be “looking around”.
“Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that’s such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life.” ~Helen Mirren

Every little detail is taken care of by our Creator God. Lovely photos.
Amazing, isn’t it? Thank you!
Lovely photos of a wonderful flower. So happy and when fall comes and the birds are at the feeders, they give again. Very rural to see a row or field of sunflowers.
Thanks, Jane! They are one of my favorites and it is always a joy to see so many of them.
Beautiful photos. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers. They grow all over Texas. They are gorgeous.
