Sunflower Summer


Summer is winding down, and the lack of rain locally has meant that what little color was around the last month or so has pretty much vanished. Although I actually saw some leaves turning colors prematurely, due to the dry conditions.

But the heartiest (and largest) of all flowers are still hanging in there. I have come across a few large "groves" of these flowers. Although many of these are near their last days, there are quite a few that are still going strong.

Before long it will be fall and we'll be chasing the colors of the season. But until then we'll take what we can get.
