Caesar and first Bloom

My bust of Augustus Caesar. I've long considered Augustus to be one of history's greatest statesmen. The bust is one of my more recent acquisitions. For some time, I've been using an earlier pic of it as a profile picture in online groups.

This is my first sunflower to bloom this year. It is the top flower of a continuous bloomer. Yesterday we got torrential rain. Good thing blue skies and sun greeted it this morning.
