btw Sheri, I think your dragonfly is a Blue Dasher-male.

Cool pic stone!

That's Debra's peeping Tom sunflower.

She planted them & they grew up taller than the privacy fence & tilted their faces straight at the neighbors windows!

And poor Debra doesn't even get to enjoy the pretty blooms cause they are looking in the opposite direction.

how funny Ann!

They are beautiful, Debra! Sorry they are looking in the neighbors yard!

I've learned that my sunflowers seem to prefer looking east... at the sun.
