I photographed this field of sunflower at the Carpenter Nature Center back in July. Carpenter has quite a bit of wild prairie habitat during the summer with frequent patches of these sunflowers.
I believe that these sun flower are Helianthus occidentalis or the few-leaf sunflower. The few-leaf sunflower is a native member of the Aster family and is found mostly in sandy prairie habitat.

YES! Sun, flowers; bring it on! Love the clear bright yellow in the second photo.
There is nothing better than sunny yellow to brighten up a gray day. Beautiful macro shots.
Sure spreads warmth on a cold winters day, beautiful.
We certainly could! Some very nice images to brighten up a dull UK day!
Those are reminders of what we can expect in a couple of months after February.
Lovely, bright flowers to view first thing in the morning. Helps to set the tone for the rest of the day!~karen
So pretty and sunny. Just what we need right now!
