"If I were a flower...


...I'd be a sunflower.





To always follow the sun.







To turn my back to darkness.







To stand proud, tall and straight...








...even with my head full of seeds."




Yep,  I'd most certainly be a sunflower.  But a sunflower in Italy would be even better.



"Italian Sunflowers"
Cortona, Italy







P.S.  I've been trying to "de-clutter" things, both here on my blog and life in general  (except my shoe closet.  I kinda enjoy THAT clutter).  I am no longer listing my link-ups at the bottom of each post.  Instead, I have a tab at the top of the blog labelled "Party On".  If you click on it you can see where I am linking up each day of the week.

  1. Glorious shots of the sunflower - especially like the idea of photographing them in Italy. Also really like the idea of a central listing of 'hook-ups'.

  2. Never thought of being a flower, but this one is a wise choice. Your sunny disposition is a match for this one too. Great series. Happy Friday.

  8. What a delightful post! Sunflowers are some of my favorite flowers too. I also like the way you decluttered your blog...the idea of a tab showing your weekly link ups is genius.

  10. Oh, Kathy I've missed coming to visit your blog. What can I say girl...life happens, and keeps happening. lol These pics are gorgeous! ...And, yes being a sunflower in Italy would be divine because perhaps someone would water you with a little wine as they are emptying glasses/bottle from a party. LOL! Just thinking out loud. Enjoy your weekend!
