For a sunflower change is slow yet inevitable: a bud, slowly unfolding, the petals unfurling, the radiant flower in full bloom, attracting bees and other insects, then the drooping head with the wilting and finally withering petals.
I might add a shot with the seeds later during the year.

The Daily Post asked for unusual photos, what I perceive as unusual.
I very seldom use flashlight when I take pictures but the other day I snapped these in our garden and I quite like the effect, particularly of the spiky seed capsule of a nigella flower (Schwarzkümmel). Maybe I’ll try a few more in the coming weeks.
