Cheerful sunflower
Bows laden bloom in deference
To golden namesake

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

Your photography is stunning! I love the angle of this shot; seeing the sunflower from a different perspective than the way it’s usually captured. You work your lens in wonderful ways. You ‘ku is delightful too. So glad I followed the Google cupcake crumbs to discover you. 🙂

Sunflowers – the most evocative name and the most appropriate … we have fields of them stretching as far as you can see turning their heads as the earth makes it’s orbit. Another lovely alignment of your well chosen words and a well chosen angle

Thank you. I have seen small fields of them but nothing as spectacular as you are describing. I would love to see that.

The unusual viewing angle and extreme closeup view contribute to a great photo that meshes perfectly with a great haiku.

It is difficult to find a creative new angle in photographing sunflowers. But you did it – intriguing. And I love that line “in deference to golden namesake.”

This is the work of an artist with a camera to capture this in such a unique and lovely way. I like the words you chose. The leaves do seem like ribbons. 🙂

I also see the sunflower bowing to the sun. This was funny because I was thinking “bows” on a package. A little tired but finally figured this out. Ha ha! I like the green leaves curling like a bow but of course, love it your original way!!
