Day 2

Today is Election Day in the United States. I originally thought I might do a voter theme but George found some of our sunflowers and I thought what an interesting photograph that would make. They were so beautiful just weeks ago but now are fading like the rest of our flowers and trees as the winter arrives. We saved some of the seeds for next year and left the rest for our birds. I love the frayed edges and the dimension of the seeds. It is straight out of the camera except for a bit of web sharpening.

The second is John again playing in those tempting leaves. They must call his name the minute he leaves the house! It is the picture I submitted as my final class assignment.
