Uncommon

It is beautiful to talk
about beautiful things and
even more beautiful to
silently gaze at them.
Dejan Stojanovic



Common sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
a large annual in the daisy family, grown for edible seeds—oilseed varieties for vegetable oil and feed, and confectionary types for snacks and baking—along with ornamental garden cultivars.

A sunflower field is like a sky
with a thousand suns.
Corina Abdulahmnegura

Be a sunflower
in a field of roses;
stand tall, radiate positivity and
embrace your uniqueness!


Cat by Candlelight
The room forgets its corners
when the candles glow Small suns trembling in a glass Shadows grow soft, out of the hush,
you come...



Everything you say Does something; Everything you do Says something. Troy Dunn
