Woodland Sunflower Helianthus divaricatus is a common plant here in northern Michigan, especially at the edge of woods along roadsides. The sun caught these plants against a dark shaded forest floor with quite a few of the blooms in the same plane of focus or close to it.

We have a variety of those that are in bloom now in the woods and along the sides of the road. This is a beautiful image, Mike.

I'm sorry, Mike. I'm getting your sunflower post confused with your aster post for some reason. I must need another cup of coffee.
