Ah! Sun-flower...

Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun:
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers journey is done.

Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow:
Arise from their graves and aspire,
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.

William Blake

Playing around today with some magnifying filters, will need a lot more play time! These are some beautiful sunflowers Mr Lippinfou gave me last week. They are in a glass vase in the window and the sun was streaming in behind them as I took this. This is exactly as it was from the camera, no cropping or fiddling with it!
