ah, sunflower

I now have Paul Weller stuck in my head.

So for a great shot and a great song, you get a highlight.

Or at least you would if I could find the button.

Sorry.

I am out of the highlight business. Let the new kids get them. but thank you, compliments always accepted.

and Paul Weller is nowhere near as good as the Fugs, if I could find them...

it is wonderful

sort of sad you've gone private though
not that it affects me :)

but hey it is up to you

you are so gregarious it seems a strange stance

Ooh! I like these very much - both faved :)

Small suns. So beautiful.

viv, I have not gone private. have I? I read that if you don't want highlights, you just choose 'registered users' ..which means private?? well. I was just trying to get out of highlights...I don't need a closed blog for privacy. but I don't want highlights.

sRose, anything except completely public "anyone can see, comment, etc." is a private blog.

I'd have highlighted the top one also. As is, I faved it. Great shot. :)

uh, caine. I get it.

and thanks b'elf. There are moonflowers in my neighbourhood. They remind me of you.

That's quite the compliment. Thanks. :)

Great swamprose!!

I disagree about no HL.
Anybody should take a look at that gorgeous top one. The sense of the HL is: we share the beauty. Only that, but it is not a pelting thing (the beauty, I mean).

Wow. So so gorgeous. I faved them both :)

love the feel of all that pent up energy about to burst forth...faved :-)

These are so beautiful. Not often am I swayed by photographs of flowers. So abstract, and I like it.

Love the sunflower and this is superb macroing :)

thanks all.
mara, you have a good point.
I need to think about this.

Sumptuous images. The second draws you into the interior of the flower.

Magnifique. It (and you) made my day better (thinking about it the week as well :))

Tuli Kupferberg is here.

urca! these are CRINKLES!

Both beautiful and both faved

minush--urca!!what does it mean? sounds great. is it like eureka?

hari--tuli is all over the net. he was old when I saw him, and he's still going. the fugs were the fathers of captain beefheart, the holy modal rounders etc...but all I want from them is ah, sunflower, weary of time...blakes's poem which they set to music. think I have to hit up some of the vinyl collections around here.

glad you thought about it :)

Steve's will has been done :)

glad you let this one out for the world to see.

me too.

urca is wow or great but more funny, it's typical of north Italy, obsolete and onomatopoeic.

mara, thanks. a lovely definition. I am going to keep urca to use myself now.

Thanks for sharing x
