A couple of strange connections today. Sunnyside and
Summerside two names that come to mind when I see these sunflowers waving in garden. First of all, when I head out for breakfast to a local restaurant, I take my eggs
sunny side up. I just like the looks of the plate with them set up like that. Never saw my Dad with an egg on his plate. He always claimed, that after eating the powdered variety in Italy in WWII, they made him nauseous to look at. Not me though. I don't eat a lot of them, but when I do, I like the two eyeballs staring back at me. Call me crazy! Summerside? The Waite side of my family came from Summerside P.E.I. I've never been there, but Nana's stories about her adventures there keep resounding even today. Gonna be another fine fall day. Keep it sunny!
You do know that often times sunny side up eggs are still (gag) 'runny' on the top.
ReplyDeleteThe texture of that alone is enough to say "over easy, please".
Call YOU crazy? Nah.....
superbe macro, les couleurs sont magnifiques
ReplyDeleteI hope that your day is as sunny as this beautiful sunflower. Olivier is correct: it is a superb macro. You had a "nana?" That's the name I got from my grandchild as he was beginning to talk. It seems so universal; wonder what a linguist would say about that? Awfully close to Italian "grandmother" too. Have a sunny day!!
ReplyDeletehave you considered a trip to p.e.i. to visit the old homestead?
ReplyDeleteThis picture is amazing when you bring it in real close Birdman, wonderful macro. Yeah I'm fond of sunny side up too, perfect for dipping 'soldiers' (toast). Glad you're enjoying the sunshine where you are, it's been a bit wild here, but sunny today.
ReplyDeleteSummerside it's a beautiful name for a place!
ReplyDeleteLovely colors and so wonderful macro shot!

Beautiful Birdman!
ReplyDeleteGolly, gosh, gorgeous! Thanks! Never would make me thing of fried eggs, though. Just gobs and gobs of sunshine and blue skies!
ReplyDeleteP.E.I. is a great place! I encourage you to visit the island. :)
ReplyDeleteBirdman -- Sunflowers are sunshine in a garden. What a terrific shot! -- barbara
ReplyDeleteSunflowers are the best way to make the day a little brighter.
ReplyDeleteSunflowers are seriously underrated -- great shot!
ReplyDeleteNice clear, crisp and colorful shot today, Birdman.
ReplyDeleteI will save this image for my PC screen for long grey winter days. Yellow therapy. Sunny side up!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Elenka, over easy, same reason. This is a beautiful flower today.
ReplyDeleteAlways a great shot and I like the way you connect all things in life (memories, events) with your photos.
ReplyDeleteSun-neeeeee pic and love that Summerside/Sunnyside. . .
ReplyDeleteZow! Have we left Maine and gone off to Kansas?
ReplyDeleteSunnyside was the name of my old neighborhood in Queens.
What a great shot!
ReplyDeleteI love full-frame flower shots like this. Very well done! Also love the mystery object shot. I thought it was bark of a tree.
