Sunflowers Delight

We had a great breakfast this morning at the restaurant not far from where I live. It's kind of crazy that we continue to go there I think primarily because of the proximity to my apartment complex. We dutifully look over the menu every week thinking it's going to be different or we're going to see something else that we might order then what we already have. Every week it's the same menu and usually the same prices- - however sometimes there is an escalation with the new price written on a piece of tape usually over the existing printed price. The new pricing will go into effect when they reprint their menus sometime in the future. Any more, I would not be surprised if restaurant owners and such start leaving off the price of the items since the fluctuation is all over the board a printed menu price would soon be defunct. The tape works but it's kind of funky looking. Today I went out of my comfort zone and ordered the sausage and biscuits without the hash browns . Instead I was able to get a fairly nice sliced tomato. It was something certainly different than what I usually have been ordering the past couple of months. I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed the breakfast, even the eggs which were very hard fried and it's what I ordered but I didn't realize they would actually solidify the eggs. I enjoyed the meal however. I will wait before I order this breakfast again, possibly as much as 3 months.

We usually break up around 2 hours after we meet for breakfast. We start around 8:00 and figure we've pretty much talked ourselves out by 10:00 a.m. today was pretty much the same everyone had stuff to do. I really didn't have anything to do. It's Sunday after all. I said goodbye to everyone and headed out the door. However, I stopped in front of some wild sunflowers that had sprouted this week. I'm a sucker for sunflowers, the wild ones that grow large. Not the ones that are huge and stand like 10 ft tall on stocks as thick as your arms. The sunflower heads on these are so huge they've been the whole plant down as if bowing to something or someone. But the sunflowers I like usually are just a multi-flowered plant that is usually a volunteer somewhere on the path to know where but everywhere. Today I was so taken with the sunflower facing the Sun, of course, but I took the time to snap a few images. It was difficult for me to take these images because it was so bright with the morning sunshine. I just pointed the camera and kept hitting the butt until I heard the shutter click as they do on these cell phones. It's such a hoot that they make him sound like cameras. But I came away with some pretty good individual images of this beautiful plant. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did or do…
