Although our area is known for dreary, rainy days, Pacific Northwest summers are usually mildly warm and sunny. For about eight to ten weeks, we have very little rain and nice 80ish degree days. It cools down nicely at night. If you live here, you plan every weekend from July through mid-September to be outside doing something....even if it is just sitting and reading a book, because we know the days are growing shorter and soon the rains that keep our hills and forests green, will return.
This year was a bit warmer than usual and I was not very good about keeping my garden watered enough. The poor sunflower plants really never did take hold and grow. I loved the colors and lines in this photo of the shriveled and bent plant. Even in it's state of decay, there is beauty of line, color and texture.
