Black-Eyed Susans © 2008
Many things grow in the garden that were never sown there. ~ Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732
I think Thomas Fuller made a very true observation.
Since it is raining, with some much needed rain, thought I would post some sweet Susans from my backyard garden. A touch of sunshine in these ladies, no matter how inclement the weather.

Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.
Beautiful, and all the more so because of the rain, I think.
Lovely shot, Bo. Isn’t it wonderful the way these beauties brighten up a rainy day?
Love how they fill the frame. There is something so ‘summer’ about them.
A sunny, fresh burst of colour and an awesome photograph. Thanks for your recent encouragement re.”Lean on Me” and I hope all is well with you Bo.
How beautiful! Sunny and bright and happy! Very nice capture how these flowers are so sharp and fill the frame. 🙂
This is so pretty. My black eyed Susans didn’t look that good this year.
Beautiful image. It does indeed feel like summer.
Beautiful flower picture with Black-Eyed..Susans
Thanks, all. Susans really are an all round favorite, aren’t they?
