Description

I found this sweet little sunflower on the side of the road in El Portal, near Yosemite. The next day, the whole plant was gone--maybe something was hungry!!

Excellent shot Maz full of the joys of summer, and a bonus bug to boot :)

While it lasted it added beauty, like your picture to the environment! I love the qualities of yellow.

LOL at comment by MrsRatbag. My first thought was the bug (ant?) ate it. Seems like that would be a challenge based on relative size!

There are two bonus bugs, great capture, I love the darkening out the background to bring full attention to the flower itself. Maybe there is the worst kind of flower predictor, the human woman that thinks if she sees it, it's hers, that what happen to mine last year. Then when I caught her walking back to her car with it, she said she found it across the street in the park. She dug the whole thing up to replant it in her garden. The reason for the single sunflower, it was on Misty's grave. She was our beloved pet rabbit. She passed away two years ago of old age, Get this she was 17!

OMG, how stellar can you get? Sensational everything visual in this macro of the humble sunflower and the visiting, and probably voracious, insect, Maz!

beautiful shot and vivid, and those head-on stamens are striking. And a nice choice to include the flower in the background looking away: You used dark space well, and that other flower looks really nice back there, slightly faded. Lol, Andrea's "pointy bit": Correction—it looks like a torpedo. Either that or the bug's looking for a sword fight. Happy Summer, Maz! I hope it's terrific!
