Come with me into the field of sunflowers. Their faces are burnished disks, their dry spines creak like ship masts, their green leaves, so heavy and many, fill all day with the sticky sugars of the sun. Come with me to visit the sunflowers, they are shy but want to be friends;----- Mary Oliver
Lovely....I just love sunflowers at the end of summer..Saying their final farewell.....
