Trying To Use Up The Sunflowers

Again, I am not re-sizing these things. I guess these blogs have unlimited storage? I'll find out the hard way.




It would not surprise me to find that this August will be hottest ever, just as July was the hottest ever. It will get worse. You haven't seen anything yet.




Getting the close-ups, or macros down, without a macro lens! Don't need one!




I really am almost ready to move on to other stuff.

Just More Sunflowers

Got a lot of these.




I don't think I reduced file sizes on these. Oh well.




I've got a fast connection. I might stop going to the trouble of reducing file sizes anymore.




Many more to go. The gardens give me a lot of satisfaction. Therapy. Escape. I need it all.

More Sunflowers, Eh?

Yes, I've got new stuff but this hot weather makes me lazy.




Kinda hard to find things to say about them. They are what they are.




They really don't look so good anymore. They've been hit by the heat and they are close to the end of their growing season. Now I've got finches, red wing blackbirds, bluebirds, cardinals, all feasting on the matured seeds. And I still fill the feeders with black oil sunflower seeds from 40 lb sacks I buy from Tractor Supply.




I took these pics over a month ago. And I'm still not done.

SUNFLOWERS!

Heh, heh, I get a bit extreme sometimes but there's nothing to be extreme about when you are viewing sunflowers.




Stuff like this should have a calming influence. 




So let's be calm.
