    That’s a splendid haiku for this photo! And a great photo for SkyWatch. Mine is sunflowers too (though mine are set against a stormy sky instead of the beautiful deep azure color of yours!), and I noticed another one besides ours just taking a quick glance at the thumbnails. ‘Tis the season for sunflowers! 🙂

    I, too, love your sunflower school! Lovely skies and beautiful flowers! Looks so cheerful — I can use “cheerful” today, it’s gray and gloomy here!! Hope you have a great weekend!

    Gorgeous sunflowers! The sunflower house in our garden hasn’t fared as well this year but we’re enjoying a few flowers and already looking forward to trying again next summer.

    Sunflowers, the Kansas state flower. They line the roads and highways all summer long and certainly add color and cheer to the landscape. Nice photo. Mickie 🙂

    Love this photo…I love sunflowers. The blue sky here is amazing. I lost about half of mine in my garden due to a strong rain storm. The sunflower stalks snapped right off…gardening can sometimes be heart breaking.
