21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunflower Power

There's a local community garden that I love to visit. This picture was taken in the middle of summer, when everything was in full bloom. The height and size of these sunflowers, was something to behold. I was dwarfed by them. I was gazing up when I took the shot. I noticed the bumble bee flying towards the flower after the shot.
