Sunflowers

A Lesson In Life?
sunflowers in Switzerland

“I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower.

For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun.

During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it.

And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life."

Quote from the ‘Calendar Girls’ movie.

I love sunflowers. I can see why Van Gogh became so obsessed with them. How can you look at a sunflower and not be just a little bit more cheered up than before?
