Sunflowers ~
              planted not by "Mr. Ed" ~
                             but rather by the birds that eat from our feeders
                                             On Crooked Creek!

 

Singly ~

 



 

in pairs ~

or trilogies ! ! !

 

 

 

 

Regardless of their origin. . .

                                   all become a source to

                                                                        feed the birds !

 

 

 

Awaiting the day of transformation from flower ~ to ~ feed,

a giant Sunflower head dries in the sweltering triple digit

temperatures on a heirloom tractor seat !
