Challenging the sun

My wife, Linda, loved the volunteer sunflowers that cropped up in the back yard earlier in the summer.  Enough so, that she bought some seed and now is watching them daily.  About eight of them have opened wide to challenge the sun.  This is one of the next ones to take on his/her destiny. Its soon-to-be petals are pulling away from the center of the flower and unfurling.   Its a lot of fun to watch the slow burst of "sunergy."
