Last week, I left for work early one morning last week, so I could stop and wander around the sunflower farm. The sun had risen not long before and it was a somewhat cloudy day. But, the flowers were gorgeous!
This place has things like this set up for photo opportunities. They also provide clippers and jars, so you can cut your own bouquet.
I was only taking pictures on this morning.
They have more than just sunflowers. There are lots of other varieties of flowers to add to your bouquet.
After walking through rows of other flowers, here are the sunflowers!
So many types, big, small, and lots of colors.
Isn't this a pretty color? I don't know if I've seen one in this shade before.
I am always drawn to the flower buds. I think they are so intricate and fun to see the different stages.
This one is ready to pop!
What a great way to start a day! Then it was time to head on in to work.
I love your bud shots the best!!! And I love the big sunflower on the barn with the bright orange tractor in front.
ReplyDeleteWOW your pictures of the buds especially are just amazing, Mari! What a lovely way to spend any part of any day, walking amongst these magnificent creations. I want to see your bouquet! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOops sorry ... I see that you said you were not there for a bouquet but only to take pictures! I wish I had been there too. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous sunflowers. Good series of portraits
ReplyDeleteHi Mari, It's so nice to see flowers still in bloom. Soon the leaves on the trees will be changing their color:)
ReplyDeleteMany of our farmers here in Georgia have planted acres of Giant Sunflowers too. They are lovely. I drink it in every time we drive by, that's for sure. Also, I would really like to have that giant sunflower graphic that's on that barn for my yard! Super cool. Great photos.

My goodness, my friend! That last photo could be in a magazine!!!! What a neat place. Thank you for sharing it with us! Have a cozy evening!
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers and was fortunate enough to grow a big garden of them this year. Some were over ten feet high! Right now the birds and the bees are having a field day with the seeds!
ReplyDeleteWow!! How beautiful and a great way to start your day, indeed! I would hang that big barn sunflower on my house!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI love sun flowers we have sun flower fields around us but this is the end now
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a nicer way to start the morning. The sunflowers are all so pretty. Makes me want to go out and pick up a bouquet of them.
ReplyDeleteOh my word - what gorgeous pics you captured! I love sunflowers...they just make you smile, don't they? ;) And I never thought about the beauty in the bud stage - love those you captured too. That different shade is so pretty. I can just imagine a whole field of them! 💗
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, especially the progression from bud to flower.
ReplyDeleteI also learned something new. I didn't know sunflowers came in different colors.
Hi Mari, I enjoyed your pictures of the sunflowers. Thanks for sharing!
