Sunflower Hypnosis

Occasionally, as a result of feeding wild birds sunflower seeds a random sunflower will seed and bloom in one our flower beds. As the morning light shone into the face of this sunflower, I couldn't help but feel hypnotized by the the many stems and stalks pinned inside the flower...like tiny pins and lights all woven into some matrix pattern.
