Another small sunflower spotted!

I saw this one trying to grow before the cooler temperatures of Autumn hit. The yellow is so pale compared to most sunflowers I have seen. It is cared for -- the owners have tied the stalks to the building so it won't tip over. It's on a little downtown church building. CLICK on to enlarge and get a real treat!

Golden beauty of a Sunflower

This is the first Sunflower I have seen this year. It's petals are so pretty! It was near the park where I go to see the Kiggins House re-model taking place. I should make a point to travel to my old neighborhood of last summer to see if that family planted a huge garden of Sunflowers again this year. . . They remind me of growing up. We always had a row or two of sunflowers in the garden. We picked out the seeds and put them in salt water overnight and then dried them. YUM!
