Sunflowers 2024

I visited Goldpetal Farm on a lovely late summer day to stay until sunset.  I thought it was an unusually nice one, mostly orange with a little pink.  Early on, I even got to see a sundog in the sky.  (It was very tricky to edit it so that it could be seen with the flower beside it). I enjoyed the fresh air and peacefulness and had fun cutting a few flowers in many colors to photograph later. (white, red, almost pink, orange and yellow sunflowers, plus a few zinnias)  The many bees were busy pollinating, but they ignored me completely, as I navigated a few paths in the mild sunshine.  There were a few pretty cast iron benches scattered around the cutting garden, making it nice for a nearby photographer to take pretty portraits.  The only thing I had missing, was someone else to carry around my bucket of flowers while I played with my camera!  This time, I tried to use the extra flowers as a prop to add to a few photos.

An old Ford Convertible was just leaving as I arrived. Possibly a roadster.  I wish I had written it down.  They kindly stopped to pose for me.

The sunflowers at a nearby farm in St. Marys County were very colorful this year.   More to come!
