One morning a few weeks ago, while walking across the big field with Baloo, I saw this lone sunflower glowing brilliantly in the early sun, so I took a picture and we continued on our way.
A day or so later, we walked the other side of the field and took a trail that led near the single sunflower sentinel. Taking a closer look, I discovered that the sunflower wasn't alone after all.
It had several small, busy friends diligently doing their pollination work.
I have to admit that I found it humorous that the large bumble bees were working on tiny vetch flowers, but the enormous sunflower was tended by these tiny bees.
I particularly enjoyed the intricate spiral designs in the center of the flower and I know that the finches are appreciating the now mature seeds as the days (finally) begin to cool.
