I like the idea of that, maybe with Empress of India nasturtiums and red orache growing alongside.Re the photo, I like to walk around my subject, sometimes a different angle makes a difference and I'm very pleased with this one! Thanks!

My last wellies were from my sailing days and lasted a couple of decades so I hope yours will give you good service for years to come!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-23929736006315165712011-10-02T18:53:26.389+01:002011-10-02T18:53:26.389+01:00As you know I love sunflowers and grow lots of the...As you know I love sunflowers and grow lots of them! I like the photo, and haven't ever taken one like that. Most of mine have finished flowering and are now being enjoyed by the birds and squirrels. <br />Yes some mornings have been noticably cool, but I hope that a frost holds off as that will finish off the cosmos and nasturtiums which are still flowering profusely.<br />Flighty xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-67456640468141967792011-10-02T18:01:57.424+01:002011-10-02T18:01:57.424+01:00Lovely shot Caro - my sunflowers are still going ...Lovely shot Caro - my sunflowers are still going strong but the flowers are getting smaller and smaller. I don't want to think about frosts just now thank you - although when I go to the allotment first thing the dew is really heavy - luckily I now have a new pair of wellies - no leaks, hurrah!elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.com
