Sunflowers After Breakfast

After that nice breakfast (yesterday's post), we treated ourselves to a little drive to the sunflower field. It was so nice to just be out and about for just awhile.



It is just a short drive away, less than 10 minutes, and the field was quite accessible. It was past prime conditions, and there were many dried flowers, but there were many good ones too.


Sue has come a long way in the past few days and was able to get some photos. She more or less directed me on how she wanted these ↓ photos to be taken. Of course, she was scheming for her daily presentation to her photo group. She has been able to keep up with her posting by reviving old photos, but it was nice for her to have fresh fodder.



She posted a composite to her photo group.


I had been wanting to photograph the sunflowers for several weeks, but life interposed itself. In other times, I would return with my real camera in better light, but this little visit was enough for now, all things considered.

  1. What a great composite and lovely to see Sue out and about.
    Husband has just been referred to a urologist and for a scan following similar problems to yours. I'm not mentioning it on my blog yet but it seems right to say here.

  3. I like Sue's collage at the end - I may scrap lift this for a page!! I am surprised that the sunflower field wasn't packed with viewers.

    I am sending lots of well wishes for you & that your test results & a forth coming prescription are on today's plans. I am VERY surprised that the pharmacist couldn't/wouldn't deal with your UTI situation ...

  15. Sunflowers are a joy, a treat. Even the spent ones, loaded with chickadees pecking seeds, are lovely.
