Sunflowers

Foss Farm, Carlisle, Massachusetts   

 Oozing warmth from shiny yellows.
   From flower to flower.
 
 Goldfinch zigzags, picking seeds, with a brief stop in a leafy hideout.
   The bees are all dusty but carry on, resolutely.
  
 These petals...

   and another Goldfinch, pulls out the seed, waits for a bit, and flies away.
 
      The flowers salute...

Foss Farm: ... the bees are all dusty...

Foss Farm: ... but carry on, resolutely...

Foss Farm: ... these petals...

Foss Farm: ... and another goldfinch...

Foss Farm: ... pulls out the seed, waits for a bit...

Foss Farm: ... and flies away...

Foss Farm: ... the flowers salute...
