I first started taking sunflower photos in 2003 when I first planted sunflowers in my backyard. These plants not only add color to my backyard, they attract insects and provide many photo opportunities. The ladybug gallery is also the result of the sunflowers, where these insects thrive on the aphids that show up in September. Birds mostly gold finches eat the seeds.

Thank you for visting my gallery. Please sign the guestbook. All images ŠJames L. Cummins, 2001-2009.
