Sunflowers in a shop window in the French quarter, New Orleans.
"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you."
- Maori Proverb
Sunflowers needed, real or virtual. Today I saw a little Dutch boy struggling to carry a cheery bouquet of sunflowers taller than he was. The determined look on his face gave me hope...
Look for an email from me shortly.

Tara, most words I use to express appreciation of your posts often sound silly and "fluffy." Please know that while I don't respond to every post, I read the blog daily and always savor how you pair words with photos.

A variation of wording on that proverb was my college class motto! I love sunflowers, but have a difficult time getting them to grow here. The moles eat the roots & the rabbits destroy the leaves. But the few flowers that make it, always manage to charm me.
