rebecca dear,
Sunflowers were my mother's favorite flower. You have captured the essence of them here and a very private moment of bright bee and sunflower honeylove. It is entirely beautiful. I know that there are many paintings from Mexico filled with Sunflowers as they are everywhere there. They are a gift from God and so are you. Thank you for putting my name in for Fergus's post. I just saw that.
Much Love,
Noelle

You caught the light here. Love the macro shot of it shining under the leaves. Gorgeous flowers. Wow! And those bees. Wonderful. <3

So, so pretty. Gosh, is it that time of the week again? I'll have to look around for a postcard contribution. Looks like I missed the weekly haiku too. Well, the good news is - I finally started painting my kitchen.

Sometimes we ARE the light -- no, not just sometimes. . . we ARE the light.

Okay Rebecca. I'll try it once, just for you. I'm not a poetic writer so to speak but I can give it a stab this "one" time.:)) I will go back to my blog and post my Postcards From Paradise. Let's just say I'll try.:) Have a great week. I'll come back and do the linky stuff.

This is so lovely. It reminds me of Erin Potts, Mary's beautiful daughter. They planted sunflowers in her memory. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us!
Blessings to you!

Dear Rebecca,
Karen kindly brought my attention to this lovely post. I've not visited here in a while, and look what I've missed! These photographs are stunning.
The sunflower is a symbol of hope for sarcoma patients, and we have planted them in memory of Erin (see http://inspiredbyerin.blogspot.com/2010/08/we-have-flowers.html) we gave seeds to all of last year's memorial blood drive participants so they could go forth and plant the seeds of hope in their lives and we have used one to represent Erin's lively spirit living among us in our family photos as you can see if you scroll down in my sidebar.
This is a beautiful post Rebecca. Thank you.
