Sunflower

After reading a depressing story I wrote, I decided to post something happy. Something Bright. So I thought about what is happy and bright? I thought of sunflowers. Though this picture is not colorful, I thought it was gorgeous. I took this photo the day after opening night of my show, Beauty and the Beast Jr. My cousin, Alex, gave them to me. She was so sweet! It was the first time I had gotten flowers after a show. It made me feel all warm and bubbly on the inside.
I got bored one day and decided to do some editing to a few of my pictures that needed edited. I very much like the way this one turned out.

I researched the meaning of a sunflower and this is what I found, and liked it :)

History and Meaning of Sunflowers

Primary Significance: Gifts of radiant warmth, sunflowers are the happiest of flowers, and their meanings include loyalty and longevity. They are unique in their ability to provide energy in the form of nourishment and vibrance, an attribute which mirrors the sun and the energy provided by its heat and light.
