Unique sunflower shot, Mary.

I doubt she is going to make it through the whole reproductive cycle, though.
Mary MacADNski: Hard to tell. We may not get frost again for a month.
Oh dear! That's a shame! But what a lovely photo this has made! They were forecasting frost back home just before I left but it never happened. Our nights are very warm for mid-September.
Mary MacADNski: We've had frost a bit early but only a bit. The sunflower didn't mind. It shook off that frost and shone beautifully the rest of the 18 degree day.

Mary MacADNski: It was 18 the rest of the day. Wonderful for walking in a t-shirt.

Rather good to look at unless it's your plant that is going to die
Mary MacADNski: Luckily, sunflowers are tough. An hour later, she's shining beautifully in the sun.
Freeze gaze! Nice macro and interesting DOF, Mary!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Armando. Do you get frost?
Gosh, we are probably still a long way off frosts! Good old Gulf streamsmile
Mary MacADNski: Usually we get them in September. Bad old Gulf Stream.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. The thought of frost here in Atlanta right now would be a miracle...though it has been unseasonably cool with all the rain we're getting. You are so much farther north. Hard to believe that time has come for you. The sunflower doesn't know what hit her, poor thing.
Mary MacADNski: We are having beautiful days and that will continue for another month or more. Nights are cold - preparing s for what is to come.
Hi Mary

Beautiful shot - Makes you want to reach out and touch it.

Been neglecting shutterchance in recent weeks - We made another big move to something a bit more permanent however this time it was only 4km rather than 4,000km
We're now just over the Hillborough from C'town and loving it
A combination of the move, family visiting and laziness on my part has meant i've not been on here much
I have still be stopping by but have slipped into the old habit of not leaving any comments.

I faced a dilemma yesterday morning I had 5mins to spare before leaving for work
The frost was thick and very inviting but I knew 5mins would never be enough - So i settled for a cuppa
This morning I left more time but the dew wasn't quite so mystical as yesterdays frost.
Mary MacADNski: Hi, Andy. I was wondering if you turned tail and ran back to Scotland at the end of summer. LOL I wonder what you're going to think of winter. It would be an interesting series on Shutterchance.

I'd love to meet up with you sometime. If you work in Charlottetown perhaps we could go for a coffee some day. I go into the city every couple of weeks. Let me know what you think.
Oh dear, that's it then Mary, Autumn, at least is on its way.
Mary MacADNski: Its cool, windy and showery today. Yes, autumn is on it's way.
Sunflowers are my favourites Mary. From 30 dg days here, this looks fightfully cold to me and 18 has me rugged up still - (we soft Australians).... Terrific shot, Cheers, HC
Mary MacADNski: LOL You are soft. e survive the winters so they are not too bad and have their beauty.
Glad to hear your plant got over it and nice macro shot. Frosts are still a long way off for us in Cornwall.
Mary MacADNski: After this weeks blue skies, which you need for frost, we are having cold windy showers. Summer is over.

ca ressemble à des crystaux de sucre !
Mary MacADNski: Il ressemble au sucre - sucre froid.
We had our first frost here in Wales this morning...its a start Mary.This pic really sparkles with frost. Very nice.
Mary MacADNski: Glad to here it. LOL I feel like I live in the Arctic with the shock of most people that we had frost.
I'm sorry about the flower but the shot is wonderful.
Mary MacADNski: The flowers are hardy so is not harmed at all.
