I'm a seed...I fell into some dirt...
I changed into a stalk-I grew taller than you...
My face wants out- I want to see stuff!
Hey! this isn't half bad! Blue sky, warm sunshine, morning dew- Yeah I am liking this- much better than being a seed!
Wow, look at me- I am bloody gorgeous!
I am beyond gorgeous! I am a STAR!!! Look everybody! LOOK! Could I get much prettier????Don't think so- I am fabulous!
Oh! Wait a minute- what just happened- one day of perfect loveliness - is that all I get? I don't think that I like how this is going all of a sudden- I was just getting comfortable with my glorious bloom!
ACKKK! Thick in the middle... lumpy....petals all wrinkly. What are those plump black things dropping from me, I swear I didn't know I was pregnant or whatever this is - seems to be enticing every bird in the neighborhood?
At least they still find me attractive....
Oh, I see, I am dinner....
The birds planted this sun flower, sustainable living...it is in the" making seeds " stage at the moment, the petals fall away all together. Not particularly pretty at this point - the birds are counting the days and would be licking their chops if they had them- not interested in "pretty" - pretty does not necessarily nourish.That is such a comfort (not very much) as I go into my "WTF happened seed" stage....

At least that sunflower recognized its perfect gloriusness before it got thick in the middle and all lumpy and wrinkly. Sometimes we don't know what we've got 'til its gone. (paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot). :D
The first photograph had me drooling. It was inspirational to finish with a larger version.
Oh, I am also in that WTF Happened! stage. It is a problematic one - many possibilities now seem to be excluded, not open anymore - and there is a recognition of the temporariness of everything - youth, beauty, desire. I'm kind of coming to terms with it - but in a Dylan Thomas "Rage, rage" fashion ...
