I'm told that these are daises, not sunflowers ... but the similarity with sunflowers is pretty strong.

This little sunflower was actually taken on a morning walk along an empty country road, on the same day that I photographed the other ones in my yard.

This, too, was taken on a morning walk, in mid-August 2001. While there are several densely packed fields of sunflowers in the area, there are also lots of examples like this one: a solitary sunflower surrounded by other flowers, or just grass ...

I think these are poppies ... in any case, I'm pretty sure that they're not roses.

This one, I'm told, is a hollyhock. In the background is the remainder of last winter's stockpile of firewood, ready to be used again as soon as the weather turns cold this fall.

I have no idea what these flowers are — but it's worth noting that they're tiny. I used the zoom lense on the camera to make them look larger than they are in real life.

There are tiny, little, purple slowers near the edge of the flower bed. I have no idea what they are, but they're very delicate and beautiful ...

More daises ...
