Happy Amateur

A short story.  I have a big flower pot out near the bird feeders — which have some sunflower seeds in them.  I noticed this volunteer sunflower growing in the flower pot.  It's totally out of place but I just let it do it's thing.  

I say again, I am a happy amateur.  I don't have to figure out how to sell this.  I don't even have to think on it.  I just get to enjoy it.  I hope you do too. 

BTW, no matter what setting I used, I couldn't match the color of the flower with the color I could see in the review screen.  I like photographing sunflowers against a blue sky and I've never noticed the phenomenon before.  I have noticed it with certain blue flowers. This is just your standard Daylight White Balance.
