more sunflowers...

Yesterday while the kids and I were out and about we passed an amazing garden of sunflowers. Thankfully I had my camera so I could take some photos to go along with our sunflower study.

I am just mesmerized by the spirals in the center of the sunflower head...



Needless to say, we were late to the class we were on our way too. There was just too much to take in.... we looked at the spirals, the florets, the seeds that were forming.... we even took a close look at the big ol' bees buzzing around and the little birds who were flitting about among the leaves. It's amazing how much "nature" is here in the city, if you just look.
