My Weekends in the Sunflower Field

I spent the past two weekends in the local sunflower fields. Two hot as balls days and one 4:30 am wake up to out there.

Didn't really worry about the flowers, wanted the birds...

Yes..., Unfortunately for pretty blooms, this year is pretty much done. If you see some of my flowers have pretty blooms, and then some have ugly blooms. That is just a difference of one week, two weeks ago.


I do have access to some more sunflowers this year, one of them is almost 8 feet tall in my front yard.

Really nice, Jeff!

It's funny, when I've been out there in the past, I've been so focused on the flowers that I didn't didn't really even notice the birds. Awesome.
