Mandala Monday

Nature does mandalas the best!

Actually, I am a bit jealous.  I have always wanted to grow the mammoth sunflowers.  This one I saw on my neighborhood walk (and almost stole if I thought I could have gotten away with it).  The stalk was probably 7-8 feet tall and the seed head is about 12 inches (or more) across.  And against the bright, clear blue Montana sky it was lovely.
