A Sunflower for Macro Friday
Under one of the birdfeeders some of the sunflower seeds have sprouted and several have developed into beautiful flowers. I have been photographing them before the chipmunks or the squirrels pull them down to eat the seeds.
This photo was taken with the EFS 55-250 zoom lens.
Just for fun I put into a vintage snapshot frame.
I am joining in the fun at Blogging from Bolivia with Laura for Macro Friday. I am off to a wedding tomorrow that is to be held outdoors. I am looking forward to it. The weather people tell us that it will not be as hot as it has been all this week and have said that we may experience some rain. We could sure use the rain but not for the wedding. Will see what happens. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Valerie

Enjoy the wedding - I hope it's not too hot!

Lovely captures - how wonderful that these grew from seeds that fell from the birdfeeder. Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the wedding.
Fantastic sunflower photo, so intricate. I hope the wedding is wonderful too and the weather is kind.
Valerie, I came to visit your collages (lovely poppies) and stayed for the close-ups of sunflowers. I find the photo that has the contrast of the green leaves and the dark background really stunning; it sets off the bright yellow bloom just beautifully. Thanks for your visit to my blog!
