[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Good Morning Everyone,

This morning is dull and grey in N.W. England and the once pretty garden plants are looking tired, ready for their winter sleep.

The good thing about photography is that you can use it to relive past times. With that in mind, I thought I would cheer us up with a glorious summer's day and a glorious sunny flower.

This is a Helenium. It makes a fine show in late summer, attracting lots of bees and other insects. I have included an Internet link here for anyone who would like to know more about these very attractive flowers.

Many thanks for your interest.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the flower.

dear Beverley,
it looks like dancing gracefully in summer light,
of course beautiful shots are timeless.
and from another eyes it is really flying in the green air.
the colour of yellow is shining in summer cheerfully, and in autumn with deep feeling...
thank you for your wonderful shot,
Akihisa

Hello Bev,
I am finally back!
You have really gotten creative with your shots and framing. Well done, You!!
This helenium is fairly popping out of the page. Ver classy too. Time for another cup of tea shared in a great spot.
