This was a contender for the September header, and I should have posted it sooner, but some other things got in the way.
This is one of the sunflowers at the Gardens of Cedar in Scranton. It was shot on a mid summer morning and it was a rarity. The summer's morning didn't have any of that typical smoke, haze and humidity we've been accustomed to.
It was nothing but blue sky and sunshine-- and flowers.
By the way, this is the photo right out of the camera. Yes, I could have cropped it a bit, but I didn't touch the lighting or the colors. Nature at its finest!
