Dark Central Disc of tiny🌺, called Disc Florets,produce Seed. Spiral florettes pattern often follows Fibonacci Sequence, a Natural Mathematical arrangement.

looked up Google and it must have referenced about 15 sources to come up with this about this image*This plant is a sunflower, characterized by its large, central head surrounded by bright yellow ray petals.The dark central disc is made of smaller, individual flowers called disc florets, which will eventually produce seeds.The spiral pattern of these florets often follows the Fibonacci sequence, a natural mathematical arrangement.*

natural light filters through orange pedaled Brown centered sunflowers growing in the Sonoran Desert behind a 5-ft block wall in front of a citrus tree agricultural zone 9B

Composite Flower Head: What looks like a single flower is actually a structure called a pseudanthium. It is made up of dozens of tiny individual florets.Ray Flowers: The bright yellow, petal-like structures along the outside edge are sterile. Their main job is to attract bees and other pollinators.Disk Flowers: The dense, dark reddish-brown center contains the fertile disk florets. These open in a spiral pattern from the outside inward and eventually mature into sunflower seeds.Coarse Texture: You can see fine, stiff hairs along the edges of the green bracts underneath the petals, which give the plant its signature sandpapery feel.

Was so excited to snap some Dusk shots of a strange🪶, utterly unbothered by me, that I didn't bother to focus. I'm a birder now😊 a super hobby to have when you live near Wonder Rift My Info says that these 2 Hawks should not be here at the same time but they are!Migration Disruption? idk! INTRIGUE

I am very sorry but this is the best shot that I can get of this weird looking bird that is on the edge of the bird bath in my yard; the bird has big feet! called talons, one of which is tucked against its body and the other is extended. the bird has red eyes which makes him a Cooper's hawk! his underparts look very light colored and his overparts like a *hood* upon his head, and his wings, look gray blue in this light, which is dusk.

the distance between me and this Cooper's hawk which is a distinguished looking bird with piercing red eyes is what this photo shows. the bird was completely unbothered by my presence though I stayed on the porch. bird looks to be about I don't know better part of a foot tall as it stands in a bird bath with colors of gray much like the bird in the Sonoran Desert near Wonder riff.

It's easy enuf now that I'm not traumatized by Sleeplessness, as I was for decades, to take for granted that I Get Enuf Rest?

Peruvian desert cactus flower with a giant bee inside as noted near the left where there is a dark area the bee dives into the center of the flower disturbing all the other bees that are in there and throws itself around like a blimp. it's very amusing and totally not scary as this is generally a non scary bee unless you are exposed wood in which case you best leave. I am a renter in this house and I am hoping to move in the nearest Future to a house that is not being eaten by these guys.

in photography you are told to focus on something, so every morning I open my front door and I attempt to find something that's interesting which, they're always is! I just scared this mourning dove by accident, it's on top of a solar lamp post at the side of the property perimeter and it's way up in the clouds, as seen here mostly clouds with bright medium blue breaking through, it is looking at me the photographer, and I am looking through the sort of messy looking Moringa branches with long thin pots hanging making them droop, a bit of the Barbados cherry tree below that and part of a circular red and clear hummingbird feeder hanging on a brass hook at left the red tiled roof of across the streets ranch home is also apparent.

that's my bird! though this one looks more like a ringneck dove on a top a solar lamp post and heavily overcast morning sky.
