Favorite things huh?  It would have to be my sunflowers, or the ocean, quite a wide gap I know. Sunflowers are what I call happy flowers and have never failed to make me smile. When I lived in Spokane I had them surrounding my home on the property line, never saw a more beautiful privacy fence.   I have not been able to have the same since we moved but I do always have a few in my yard. I am not a detailed gardener and generally I toss the seeds into the ground and just wait for them to grow. I get impatient and full of anxiety, about then the seedlings will pop through. You'd think I had a baby I get so excited. I did not do any editing on the last 6. Have a fantastic week and share your favorites with us.

  1. You are right that when you speak of flowers...it is either a rose or sunflower. Van Gogh immortalized these wonderful flowers into the world's most expensive paintings.

  8. Hello.
    When I was younger, sunflowers used to scare me...they grew so large & I always said they had an evil eye. Now I have matured, I think they are so beautiful...they represent sunshine & happiness. Yellow is one of my favorite colors too.

    Awesome photos!
    Thanks for sharing.
