As twilight comes on, a stand of Black-eyed Susans softly glows in a protected part of our back yard.

Stand out
A sunflowers’ butter yellow and dull brown stand out against the background of green and bright pinkish-white.
Greets
Our sunflower greets the morning sun with a creamy yellow visage.
I very rarely edit my photos; at most a little cropping is all I do. Something different this time: blurring the background. Let me know what you think!
Pink
An imperfect bright pink flower stands out against a background of green. A lovely sight.
Highlighted
During my recent walk in the cathedral I came upon these trilliums highlighted in a sunbeam.
Cheerful
It is a chilly, damp, breezy day – more mid-March than mid-May. These Johnny Jump-ups spread, without encouragement, into part of our yard. I photographed them a few days ago and today they gave me some cheer that spring is indeed here.
‘Weed?’
The dandelion has an undeservedly bad reputation. A great deal of propaganda has convinced many people that it is a weed and must be eradicated, which is a Sisyphean task.
Its flower is a cheerful reflection of the sun’s brilliance. The leaves are edible. I understand that a pleasant wine can be made from it. It has many medicinal uses.
While we do control their presence in the vegetable garden, they are accepted residents in our lawn and naturalized areas. Here, our foster dog Lucy stepped into my photo of a brilliant bloom.
Reflect
Back home, these dainty daffodils reflect the cheerfulness of a sunny day.
Lovely
A lovely flower, captured in radiant West Texas sunshine.
Cheerful
Indian blanket (Gaillairdia pulchella) is such a cheerful flower and always brings a smile.
