Sunflowers grow in sunny climates and are thought of as “happy” plants. Some cultures consider them symbols of long life, vitality, and good fortune. They generously feed our bodies with their seeds and our souls with their playful beauty. These particular, tall sunflowers surprised me as I drove down a street I hadn’t been on in a while. I hadn’t seen them in the city before and they were simply delightful, a joy to behold. Whether reminding you to face the sunnier side of life, or simply reminding you of summer in the winter months, may these Dancing Sunflowers bring joy and delight to your life. - Patrice Federspiel
