I took these last summer, and just had my film developed.

This one is me with one of my sunflowers, won a contest for having the biggest one in my area.

I am 5'7, so you can imagine just how tall this was.

I come from the sunflower state- Kansas.

I've seen fields of sunflowers as far as the eye can see! I found this on on the net as an example, I dont have any loaded in this PC to show you.

beautiful knees?:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

I love sunflowers, we have crops of them here also.

Thanks for sharing, Odie. But you're supposed to stand next to the sunflower, not behind it. :wah:

We had a raccoon baby last year visit for one day. Out of nowhere she came, so we feed her drycat food and peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter is good for them, and is part of their diet, and she devoured everything....we gave her tons of water all day as it was hot....she would not leave us.....several times I purposely made her jump up our tree........was relieved she knew how to climb trees being so very young.....at least then, I knew she could escape from danger.

We played with her on the grass just like a kitten......next morning, she was gone.

not sure why some pics come out so small, as they are all 4 X 6?

double click on these, as these turned out really small.

if you feed them......they will come, but only if you want them.

at our old house, each year we had a mommy and 5 babies, we would sit outside and feed them dry cat food and peanut butter sandwiches.......we put the birdbath top down on the grass full of water.......they drank from it and the babies played for hours in the water.

I used to have a friend in Vancouver who would feed them eggs and she loved to watch them open them... I think here we just don't see them because we have many coyotes coming around from the park.
