Nature Lonely Sunflower

Lonely Sunflower · 12:11 AM

Only one in the yard so far. Grew from sunflower seeds I feed the birds. I spent an hour outside in the sun today and this is part of the results. I have more photos and will post them later.

Not only did you get an unopened Sun Flower but you captured a small Spider as well.

Indeed that will look great one it opens up. Nicely spotted.

Both the spider and the flower look huge! I love growing sunflowers... they attract so many beautiful creatures. Thank you for sharing

It is so rare that you see sunflowers photographed this way. I hope you take a series of pictures of this one over the next few weeks

Great shot, nice to see something growing again and a bonus spider too.

Here is still white and cold, spring must be going to be delivered soon.

That will a beauty when it opens up. Nicely caught.

Thanks EM, Dave, Tess, MSL, Kerrowdown and Susan for the comments and compliments. I've uploaded another view of this flower today.

FYI, I didn't see the crab spider until I uploaded it to edit. I wasn't using my macro setup either, as I'd have gotten the spider and not the flower. And I wanted the flower, the spider was an added bonus.

Very cool, Mar - I like it a lot.
