Happiness is . . ., originally uploaded by AnnieElf.

Sunflowers, lots of sunflowers.
Sunny yellows and vibrants reds.
Sometimes a plan just comes together.

The heaviness of those beautiful sunflowers! I imagine them full of lovely seeds for the birds.

I didn't know there are orange sunflowers too. Beautiful shot!

The most gorgeous sunflowers, Annie! Red sunflowers, though? Or did you do something to them. Anyway, the bright yellow and the red together is lovely! :)

Love sunflowers! Your picture is great!

I have another Monday series already in my mind. It will be a surprise for you. It won't start until mid October.

Beautiful. Very nice colors.

Beautiful and sunshiny picture. I really like how the colors complement each other.
I am a florist and yes as Annie would agree Sunflowers really come in red.

I never saw a red one before I started blogging! Beautiful post, Annie.

That bouquet of flowers made me exult, such a beautiful explosion of colors and joy.

Dear Aninie,
Beautiful Sunflowers. Have you "manipulated" them red, or are there really red sunflowers?
They are so full of life..and sun.
I think that's maybe just why i cannot get them to bloom here in Norway.
Too much rain, cold and storm, and too few of those wonderful sunny days.

Hi Annie,
Thanks for visiting my site. Just noticed you're in Turlock. I grew up in Modesto. Hope it's not too hot there right now!

This bouquet speaks to me of the end of summer. Didn't the season go by fast?!

Ralph said...

These sunflowers are beautiful and artistic. I have not seen these in red, but the ruby color adds a feeling doesn't. A nice arrangement!

Beautiful. Lots of Sunflowers here in people's gardens. Had them for my children when they were young.

Wow, what excellent professional quality art this is! I can see it as a great design for kitchenware too ... "The Red Gold Sunflower Line" consising of coasters, placemats, napkins, towels, serving trays ... Sooo cool!
