A huge sunflower gazes at its own navel, as if exhausted after days spent holding its huge head proudly toward the sun. The thumbnail at right might give a better perspective of how this sunflower is bent over. I kept seeing it every morning last week when I walked the dog and it looked so huge and vibrant it just begged to have its picture taken. However, by the time I remembered my camera, it had passed its prime.

It just amazes me that a flower can be this big.
