SUNFLOWERS!

I have heard from several people lately about the sunflower field over by Yankee and Lyons, so I went to check it out today. WOW! Talk about gorgeous. I may have a cheap point-and-shoot, but I don't know that it mattered on a beautiful day like today and with something as wonderful as this field of sunflowers.

Yeah! A good bee shot! :)



This one is just nice - notice the lone stalk of corn in the back.



A close-up! This is how you get good bee shots -
you wait until fall when they are so slow they are almost dead,
and then you shoot! :)



This makes me think of my students' class pictures -
99% of the class is following the rules but there is always that joker in the back
waving at the camera! (Do you see the one I mean?)



I am a sucker for a monarch!
You should have seen them all flying around in the field today!



And here's another. I wanted to snap this one because there was a bee and a butterfly on the same flower, but look what happened when I took the picture. Do you see what I see?



YES! I got an actual bee IN FLIGHT! :) I was pretty excited!
