When the Sunflowers fade...


Just a couple of weeks ago...
My sunflowers looked like this one!
This is called a Teddy Bear cuz it is so cute and small.

Now my Teddy Bears look like this...



Some of the taller sunflowers look like this...

I don't mind the turning of my beauties because it brings
my favorite thing about the ending of spring in my garden.
LOVE BIRDS
My own special "Tender Mercy"
the one that says "you will survive the dreaded summer, you can make it, fall will come again and so will spring. Then it will be time for us to come eat your seeds again."
The love birds, have survived here in the hot desert temperatures for I don't know how long. They have found their way to my garden now for 4 years. I love listening to them sing.
I rejoice every year the first time I hear their song and every time after until they leave me.

I am still waiting to photograph them...
Maybe this year.
