sunshine

I have a solitary volunteer sunflower in my garden. It is taller than me, with a single bloom bigger than my head. Every day I visit, so see if any bumblebees are napping or collecting there, and to admire its magnificence. As the summer winds down, I love the shout of life this green one is making, and it pushes to form seeds for another one to grow next year.
