I love taking flower photos. In fact, I have several flower-related posts in this blog and Pixie Pixels blog.
Flowers make our surroundings more colorful and more fun. Flowers uplift the spirits for these make people smile and feel good. Even by looking at flower photos people will feel positive energy as they look at the colorful foliage.
My favorite flower would be sunflower, no question about it 
These photos were for a photo scavenger hunt (different from the Saturday Photo Hunter meme that I participate) that I plan to join but was not able to.
Some photos included were taken by my 13yo daughter.

7. Sun/Lens Flare

8. A Bridge
Would you dare cross that hanging bridge? No, there are no crocodiles lying in wait just in case you fall down but then, that would double the fun, wouldn’t it? (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)
9. A Shadow
Wouldn’t you know, it is almost high noon but because of the shadows cast by the trees, this road is quite shady and still cool for a walk.
10. A Garden
My MIL‘s home garden (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)
I know I am one of the many who complains about the hot and humid weather but is it goodbye summer already?
It was a good thing that last Sunday, even if I was having a sneezing fit and while the world was getting ready to watch the Pacquiao-Hatton fight in LV which had the Pacman KO Hatton <- (must watch) during 2nd round, my hubby and I decided to go where I can take photos of sunflowers (my favorite flowers!) and at the same time, spend a little time doing some walking. He brought a bike and went biking while I walked.
So there you go, a close-up sunflower photo, in memory of a very short summer.
Update: We are supposed to be in the middle of summer but we just had Chan-hom, a category 3 hurricane, ravaging the northern part of the country last night.Please pray for those who lost their homes and their loved ones.
