Sunflowers Found

We had looked for sunflower fields that we had visited in previous years. Alas! they were not to be found this year. Then I came across a link for another farm on FB, but I had trouble finding a time to get myself there. After looking for it one night and coming up empty, I was able to get the right coordinates into GMaps and from there onto my phone.

It wasn't the best day for sunflower pics, or any kind of pics really, but Sue needed something for her 365 photo group, so off we went.

Whoa Nellie! First there was coffee and turkey bacon club sandwiches in the park. 

Now for the sunflowers, but first, I must confess that I used some filters on the photos to add some life on a flat day.

Sue was almost snapping photos before I got out of the car. Almost. This is my first photo of her with the field in the background.

Next, a picture of the gate and the path and field beyond.

Bees were having a field day, so to speak. Sue tried to get macros and was somewhat successful.

Phones can do better with macros than cameras with only their normal lenses attached, so I didn't try very much. I did get this ↓ close-up, but it's not a macro. It's more about the flower in the field, but I'll have you know that there is a bee.

There was a bee inside this flower, but it wouldn't come out. It would have eventually, but I am not very patient, so just the flower will have to suffice.

One final photo of this ↓ flower that stood way above the others. Perhaps it was hoping to land a spot on the basketball team.

I should try to go back when the light is good and take a bit more care and time, but if I don't manage to do that, I do have this pleasant visit to remember.
