Bowing sunflower

This is the view I have when I park my car. When the breeze rustles the plants, it looks like they are dancing. The flower that is bent over reminds me of a person bowing.

I noticed yesterday that the birds have found the bowing flower and are starting to strip its seeds -- just part of the cycle of life, I guess.

I know it's a Kansas thing but I think sunflower's are remarkable. I remember driving through fields filled with flowers craning towards the sun, as far as you could see. I also remember the neighbors down the alley that we passed on the way to school that had some jumbos that must have stuck 10 feet in the air, but towards the end of the summer wouldn't be able to bear up their seed swollen heads.
