Just another Saturday in January here in Okinawa...
Little Japanese heads peeking out from the sunflowers:

Nora Ephron already deemed daisies as the friendliest flower, and who am I to argue with Nora Ephron? But I must submit that sunflowers are a close second. I love how they without fail face towards the warmth of the sun. In Romania you would see acres and acres of sunflowers all facing the sun, which can't help but make you happy. So while daisies are the friendliest, sunflowers are the happiest. Kind of interchangeable, but I love sunflowers so much that I think they deserve a superlative of their own.
Hope you have a great week!
Jane Austen called daisies drab little flowers. ;) I'll bet she would agree with you on giving sunflowers a superlative. Your pictures look beautiful!
