Nearing the end of its life as a blooming sunflower, this sunflower blossom is wilted and drooping.

But its life is not over...not yet!

All those seeds will become a tasty and much needed natural food source for birds and small forest animals to get them through the harshness of a winter.

Its sunshine petals are not shining any longer...it is sunset. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/sunset-karen-cook.html  #Sunflowers #FlowersonFriday #Sunset #nature
