Sunflowers and More
Here we are in late summer, surrounded by natural beauty. How privileged we are! I wish I had spent more time outdoors but most days were uncomfortably hot.
Today was pleasant. The flooded rivers have gone down and they weren't disastrous here anyway. A few people were rescued from vehicles and others were stranded for a little while, but compared to Louisiana and New Jersey, Virginia fared well.
Climate changes are scary. Plant trees if you have a yard. And make plans for any disaster that might hit your area.

ReplyDeleteI love your sunflower.
ReplyDeleteYep we have a lot of natural beauty.
Lots and lots of denial about climate change.
A lovely series of photos. Very pretty flowers and butterfly. Good to hear the storm didn't cause you any damage. Really feel for the people in its path, especially the families who lost loved ones. The photos and videos I saw on TV were startling.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunflowers, I love the butterfly on the blooms. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair
ReplyDeleteOur Grandson and wife were talking about putting in more sunflowers next year -- I told them about the red ones, which I saw for the first time only a couple of years ago. I think they are so special, though I love the usual yellow ones too.
ReplyDeleteBelas fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.
