Those beautiful sunflowers that are chosen have it so good. Someone gathers them up from the field of sunflowers and admiringly takes them home to enjoy or gifts them to another. I feel sorry for the sunflowers that are dropped on the way out, discarded, or just aren’t chosen. I see them fallen by the wayside, sometimes trampled. Some are not chosen because they have passed their prime, are showing the wear and tear of time, or just weren’t perfect enough. So I honor them here with these photos. I appreciate their beauty and their contribution of pollen and natural matter that supports our ecosystem. They are perfect in their own way.
