Sunflowers

A few years ago one of my photo groups held a workshop led by a woman who is a seriously good photographer and we had the opportunity to photograph random still-life scenes with flowers and other items. 

One day I impulsively purchased these three sunflower canvases.  Maybe someday

I'll give them to someone as a gift.

Until then, I'm really enjoying them.

Decor

I was in Hobby Lobby the other day.  I found what I wanted and was on my way to the cash register when I wandered down an aisle where home decor was for sale.  I know this isn't very sophisticated, but there are times when I need a little whimsy in my life.  I basically fell in love with this picture AND it was on sale for a great price.

 

So now it lives on the wall above my couch and is one of the first things I see when I walk through my front door.

Just a Bouquet of Blue Sunflowers

Someone was done with a bouquet of colorful flowers even though they still looked pretty vibrant.  I boldly asked for them and spent some time trying to get a good shot.

It was fun and I didn't feel as exhausted setting this up as I did the other day.  There were some pretty yellow sunflowers and some Chinese asters but for some reason I liked this one best.

I'm grateful today for:
