During August there is a profusion of sunflowers near Flagstaff and the Coconino National Forest in Arizona.
Such a cheerful sight in the middle of winter and as our temperatures are dropping again. After a week of 20F, we’re down to -20s and falling. Enjoy your time in the sun in SA!
Oh, I am so glad to be heading south. Stay warm.
It is hard to beat sunflowers in my mind. I love this shot.
Doesn’t their sunny faces just make you smile?
So cheerful; beats the winter gray. But are these sunflowers or Black-eyed Susans? Same family, maybe.
Everyone around Flagstaff calls them wild sunflowers, but I think you’re right about them really being Black-eyed Susans.
Oh, I LOVE those sunflowers! We saw them last summer up on the Rim! They are so cheerful! I call them wild sunflowers, but I don’t know their name, either…
That’s what the locals call them. They are so cheery.
Lovely summer memories!
The only thing which can brighten your day any day!
I love sunflowers because they are so bright and cheerful.
I love them both – sunflowers, especially the giant ones, and black-eyed susans, especially the wild ones. They just cheer me up any time I look at them. They make me want to smile.
What a beautiful photo – I love the bright yellow against the blue of the ski!
Thanks Patti. They make me smile. 😀
A beautiful shot. Really like the way you have angled the photo upwards. I really need to start working on the creativity of my photography again. I’m starting to get boring.
Always good to look at life from a different perspective, and move the camera.
Do you happen to know what genus and species these sunflowers are? They were thick along I-40 on a recent road trip. Wondering if they are annuals or perennials
No I don’t, but they flower every year near Flagstaff.
