Sun Flowers

"My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it."

 -Mark Twain

My mother has given me so much over the course of her life, but the one gift I have valued over all others is the gift of imagination. Through it, she has given me the heavens and the earth as well as a light to guide me through the brightest days and darkest nights.

This year, to say thanks, I reached up and stole a piece of the sun to create these "sun" flowers especially for her as a small token of appreciation and a symbol of the light and love she has always provided.
