Wendell Berry called it "falling into the fund of things", and I agree totally - going to seed is a good thing, a necessary thing. Alas, I lack the delicate coloration, the complexity and elegance of form displayed by a sunflower gping to seed in November. If I can be said to resemble anything at all, it's an old ironwood tree in the woods.

and you could live 1200+ years and make gorgeous blooms in late spring! ironwood tree it is!
i love these photos, cate. i wish we had enough hot, hot sun to grow beautiful sunflowers here on our property. birds love the seed heads so much, and i find them so interesting in the fall garden - natural beauty filled with nutrients for our feathered explorers.
and she is beautiful
