Bright, beautiful and about gone, these sunflowers saw the season through. A couple weeks ago, I found these classic white windows set in a classic red barn, with what else, classic sunflowers! With the rain and frost I’m sure they’re gone now, we’ll all have to wait until next summer to enjoy their bright, happy faces again.
Brown, that’s the word I beginning to think now as I look at all the fallen leaves and dead grasses. Yesterday while waiting for some high school tech students at Seahurst Park on Puget Sound, I mulled over how the long, fairly steep drive down to the water has changed over the last few weeks. From bright golds and yellows, to bare limbs and a carpet of brown leaves on the ground, sigh.

It was just crying to be photographed! Beautiful!
How pretty!
Great shot!
The roll of wire adds just the perfect touch!
that is us over here in the midwest – brown and dreary already!
Oh so very beautiful! You seriously have an eye for a beautiful & creative shot! If I were you, I’d have these shots framed & hung all over the house =)
Fantastic photo ~ composition of flowers, windows and red building are excellent ~ love it! ~ ( A Creative Harbor) ^_^
Love, love, love this composition Madge. One of my faves of yours.
absolutely love this shot, Madge
What a lovely shot!
very pretty color combo!
(not sure about the vines – wild morning glory? wild grape? who knows…)
I love sunflowers. These look soooo pretty against the red background!
That is a great find!
this is just a beautiful photo, love it!
There’s a lot of color in this beautiful photo! It’s pretty brown around here.
This captured my attention right away. The composition makes me swoon (well, almost :) and the colors leap off the page. Just FABULOUS.
The colors really pop in this shot. I love it.
I’m glad you shared this lovely picture with us to brighten up all the dreary early winter scenery! :)
Fall is slipping away much too quickly. Brown = cold, yucky winter to me.
Wow, what a fantastic photo!
The last sunflowers of the summer will be anxiously awaited the next summer.
Wonderful photo, Madge. Love this, everything about it. xx
This is a great composition! I especially like the rusted wire (?) hanging from the building. I have to admit, I actually like the browns, grays, tans right now…right now. Give me about 6 weeks and, after Christmas, I’ll be singing a different tune.
Nice scene up against the peeling paint of the old barn. An old barn makes everything standout more.
This is a fantastic photo Madge, timeless and classic. Wonderful capture. It must be strange living where you have such distinct seasons. I think I would enjoy all except winter….
This is one of my favorite photos! It would make a great painting, too!
This is a lovely shot – I really like sunflowers. It’s great how some shots just come together like this one :))
The colors in your photo caught my eye ~ so pretty! Yup, nothing but white here. I could use a little color!
Fantastic!

Beautiful!! I love it.
Love this photo – the rustic red building fronted with the sunflowers is perfect!
