why hello right back! :D a very cheery image this, BC! it has been a long day and i am certainly glad it is through! a beautiful 'macro' here -- very illustrative -- and quite painterly too, i might add -- Magritte comes to mind, though i don't recall that he did any sunflowers ;) gorgeous all the same! love the long yellow petals and the hint of a slight cloudy sky... just wonderful!!
I found your site through Sherri at pearweed and I'm so glad. You have so many beautiful photos. This one is particular is such a fine capture. I keep telling people I don't know if it's proper or not, but I'm going to save your photoblog in my VFXY favorites.
