Hard to capture this because of the angle of the sun, but it reminded me of Salvador Dali…melted face of a sunflower.
Beautiful strangers I didn’t plant but arrived.
These were shook off some, but the stalks and roots are enormous! One stalk was about two inches in diameter!
I will miss these treasures. The last storm, left me only a handful…feels like a summer goodbye…barefoot & my face to the life source.
Today’s contribution to Tuesdays of Texture (de monte y mar).
Spiky bulbous heads
show off their summer beauty
Soak the sun all in.
These flowers are the perfect examples of how we change with time and perspective. I used to think these flowers were the ugliest in my garden. Maybe it was because they weren’t the intense color of purple that I love…maybe because they look a little weedy on the bottom. But when I focus my camera lens differently and I look at the flower from different angles, and I really begin to notice…THERE….I find beauty. If you blow the picture up on your screen, you can see the cool TEXTURE of the middle. How many flowers have spiky middles and flourish on the outside? And they grow tall and elegant and stand far above the rest of the crowd.
If I apply this to life, what else would I see if I changed my camera lens and focused on something different?
Glorious, radiant beauty…and gold in every soul.
Happy Sunday my friends,
