Celebrating Summer With Sunflowers

 Finally!  I was so happy this morning when the first sunflower bloomed!   My husband and I both love sunflowers and he planted some seeds but unfortunately the squirrels made the most of them.
 A few weeks later I planted a dozen seed and six plants made it.   You can't imagine how excited we were when we looked out the window this morning and saw a large blossom looking like sunshine standing proudly. 
 Now I'm waiting for the moon vine to bloom.

I'm joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays as we celebrate summer.  Be sure to stop in and see what other bloggers are doing to celebrate summer.

    How did you ever get such amazing photos? They are spectacular!

    I'm not so good with my DSLR!

    Thanks for dropping by my blog and I sure hope you'll come back soon.

    Beautiful. I especially like when they turn their pretty heads to follow the sun.

    Best,

    Your sunflower shots are AMAZING! My Mom used to love to grow them. Maybe I'll try next year, as they certainly are a HAPPY flower!

    They are so bright! I have never planted them, but I have tons of black eyed susans. I took some from my mom's house when we sold it, so I have a nice reminder of her when they bloom!
    Enjoy these last few weeks! Plenty of time for Fall later!
