Sunflower for September

I went for a nice early walk before the temperature rose, I was not the only one with that idea, the trail was packed.  I tried to get a few shots but there were people everywhere.  So I picked the sunflower from the flowers I bought yesterday, and thought I would do the opposite of yesterday's blip.  Yesterday I worked on getting the whole flower in focus, today I went for the soft edges look.

Husband is home from work and we are off to a birthday BBQ for a gentleman I use to work with.  Enjoy the weekend.
