Sunrise through hollyhocks Every morning lately I've been watching the rising sun shine through the hollyhocks and have tried to capture what I am seeing with my camera. This shot reminded me of the title of Dylan Thomas' poem, The Force That Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower.

It's lovely, Clair. I love how even the leaves toward the bottom of the frame are backlit.
Breathtaking. I've seen them in person and they demand a moment of silence, they're so beautiful. I'll bet your morning ritual is peaceful and pretty.
this is glorious. it's either lilac or hollyhock as my favorite flower and I can never decide. today it's hollyhock.
I remember hollyhocks at my grandmother's when I was a small child; I've been unable to grow them, however. Fabulous images...beautifully connected with Dylan Thomas poetry!
I love hollyhocks too, awesome capture!
It is so nice to "meet" you Clair, and what a beautiful photograph this is!! Gorgeous light and color.
Thank you so much for sharing this today at The Creative Exchange.
Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful light, love it!
Wonderful picture.
What...burgeoning hollyhocks! They're an August flower with us, so to see them this early in the year is a treat.
Spectacular!
I love shooting the sun streaming through the leaves as well! And you got the right quote.
So beautiful; hollyhocks remind me of my childhood. This photo makes me want to plant some, and I just may do that!
amazing capture! love the light in this.
Beautiful Clair! I love your title photo as well.
