Sunflower in Kara's Garden

Once again my daughter Kara living in the UK has sent the inspiration for this week's Wordless Wednesday.  In a land where the sun isn't always the brightest she keeps her spirits up despite the UK gloomy skies by being an avid gardener.  She manages to have something blooming from early spring through the fall.

Even on a cloudy/rainy day, a sunflower is well named -- it does bring a brightness with it.

Chris Ann-I'm still mumbling the "set my daughter free" mantra.  Meanwhile she gets to keep growing her flowers and veggies.

What a great looking flower.  I noticed last night the temperature in England was 72.  What a nice cool temperature for summer!

I'm glad I took that picture when I did - it's been torrential downpours all last night and most of today. During a break in the weather I counted 24 butterflies in the backyard taking advantage of the meager sunshine. They seem to prefer the buddleia to the sunflowers though. ;-)
