Sunflowers
Sun flowers.The very name evokes happy associations.Or Van Gogh.Or a reminder that your cooking oil has finished! --Depending on your bent of mind.
To me, sunflowers always mean Sunshine and VanGogh.I really love his work.
They were in full bloom when we passed by.Nodding and smiling.Simply had to stop and click a picture.And gaze in admiration.
It made me happy.
But, as Anthony Angelo said "Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine"
What do you associate sunflowers with?
Sunflowers...hmmm, old childhood memories, my grandmother's kitchen, oil and fields completely full of them in Alentejo, in the south of Portugal.
ReplyDeleteLovely post; thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteI think about summer and warm weather! I wish it wete here now!
bring your sunshine with you!,that's an interesting thought -but never come across my mind!
ReplyDeleteI saw blue roses this week after having dinner with a friend...I love roses, all kinds. Sunflowers have a weird hold on me as well...I am not sure what feeling flowers conjure in me, I love them dead or alive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog! Thanks for commenting on mine because it lead me to find yours.
ReplyDeleteI too associate sunflowers with Van Gogh...it seems that I only see them in groups of 2 or 3..how lovely to be where you can find an entire field..terrific photo too.
What a great picture! I love sunflowers too - you can't look at them and not be happy.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE Sunflowers! Can you tell they make me happy too? [grin] I dunno what it is about them that affects me this way. Perhaps it's because they seem so full of life; bright and cheery and so majestic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post, Ps. Simple, sweet, and true. Thanks!
Sunflowers...it reminds me of the sheer extravgance of nature..see how many seeds each head contains..you only need one to make another flower...and beauty to feed my. eyes and soul1
ReplyDeletelove the sun flowers may me long for summer to come. As its dull cold and gray here in the UK at the moment

One always clicks sunflowers facing you,and you get the feeling that they all are looking towards you.So it follows that "Wherever you go, no matter what the weather,always bring your own sunshine " because you shine like the sun the sunflowers 'turn 'towards you to get clicked. Sunflowers let you presume that you do shine like the sun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photograph.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I associate Sunflowers with my ex-husband. We loved to grow them together and the fact that this little ritual - going out and checking how big they are and potting them on together - has now ended is sad. They are such a lovely flower and I am moving on so I still love them.
Sunflowers to me symblise love...its not anything i can describe..just an inherent memory of a good time when I felt loved and these flowers were around..they too become the highlight of whatever place they are in, after all.
ReplyDeleteI love sun flowers. I always associate fields of them with stifling hot days and my camera. The kind of hot that beats down on you and takes your breath away but I still snap away even though all I want to do is go find some air conditioning. Sun flowers seem so strong to me, I love the feel of their soft petals and rough stalks and leaves and how sturdy they are. I like how the bees seem more business like around sunflowers than they do around roses or daisies.
ReplyDeleteTo me, temperature effects the appearance of the photos we take and I like how sun flowers look different on hot days or cool days or rainy days. I like how they move their faces to the sun. That has always fascinated me. If you stand still long enough you can actually see it happen and that makes them alive to me.
