I got my sought after shot this year–a sunflower field so dense that when you shot over the top, all you can see is yellow. Thank you Karen A. for scoping the fields out. And thanks to a step ladder! Yes, I’m sort–too short to have gotten the image without a little help.
I remember in past years going crazy to find sunflower fields, only to be there too early or too late. This year things were different in Yolo County.
I’ll make this a short post so you can see them. Oh, what did I learn? Patience prevails and always have a step ladder in your car trunk!
Hope these make you smile!
Back-lit.
Happy sunny.
Bees were busy.
Getting in the middle.
These fields are large.

From the side.
They are beautiful no matter how you shoot them.
There were wheat fields opposite the sunflower fields.
More wheat.

Looks like a fun day out and thank goodness for the photographer who had the ladder not your usual equipment 😊 Linda
Thanks Linda. Actually I brought a step stool with me, hoping I’d find the shot. Now I have a step ladder in my trunk!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you Anjana.
What an absolutely wonderful series. So funny, so beautiful. I love the one of all the photographers in the field of sunflowers – I had a good laugh when I saw it.
Thank you -N-. Yes, we are a bunch of crazies, and we have fun.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful…….Love the last shot with all of you and your cameras.
Thanks Donna. We have fun outings.
What an impressive view, Anne!!! The endless sunflower field!!! I love the close ups with the bees!
Thanks Mercedes. It took 3 years and a step ladder to get the field shot! Perseverance!!
The sunflower field photo is glorious! Thanks for sharing. I have a poetry blog here on WordPress and today’s poem is about sunflowers in case you have time to look? Sunny greetings, Sam 🙂
Thanks Sam. I did visit your blog and enjoyed you poem on sunflowers. Let us know if any of your poems are put to music!
Thank you – I would love to put my poems to music. I am quite musical and can sing a bit but can’t play an instrument…
Well, then you need a collaborator! Shine on!!
Anne, can you tell me where the field is? I have a 400 foot section of wood plank fence on my property that is a back drop to my sunflower crop. They are just beginning to bloom and will be featured in the coming days and weeks on my blog, Chasing the Blooms.
These fields are in Woodland California. We also have plenty in Davis and Dixon. Have fun with your sunnies!
