There were no sunflower fields in our area this year..at least none that we knew of.
We were in Detroit Lakes one day. I spied a few sunflowers. Far Guy said “You are going to take a photo aren’t you?”
Of course their cheerful little faces cannot be denied.
Have you ever felt like this..so tired it was hard to hold up your heavy head. I know I have.
How can one plant evoke two completely separate emotions?
Next year I hope someone grows an entire field full. No better way to waste an afternoon…photographing a sunny field:)
Sunflower Field August 2011
There's a whole field of sunflowers just north of me. They sure are beautiful. Thanks for keeping us filled with beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteSunflowers are pretty in a field. We see lots of them around here in peoples yards.
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers and had them as centerpieces for my wedding. They're so simple and happy!
ReplyDeleteI remember that pic from last year. What a glorious opportunity to see all those beautiful flowers in person.
ReplyDeleteYup - - - the too tired to hold up my head - - have had a few of those days in my 61 years.
I love sunflowers! Hope you are relaxing, learning and having fuN!
ReplyDeleteNothing makes me smile like a sunflower.
ReplyDeleteI can see the difference between the new camera and the old one. At least I think so. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, me yesterday evening. Feelin' spry this morning though! I only had three sunflowers this year and they were volunteers from my compost I spread on the corn. I missed them and will definitely have a large planting next year, but no field and I'm not exactly a Sunday drive away!
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers. they are so bright and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteThe more the merrier! Loving the photo of the field :-)
ReplyDeleteSunflowers are so cheerful, but I never have success growing them.
ReplyDeletePeace,

I love a happy field of sunflowers. I've had trouble growing them for the last few years because those wascally wabbits nibble the stems as soon as they pop out of the soil. I will try again next year!
ReplyDeleteNext year you'll have to plant your own:)
ReplyDeleteThey're so cheery and light! But when they are done--they are done. They have given it their all. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen it's fall and cooling off and things are turning brown it's great to see something so bright and cheerful as sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd sight to see posted here just after you announced the season's first snow! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe used to have fields of sunflowers near here, out on the islands in the delta. Beautiful sight.
What a wonderful field full of those cheery flowers.
