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.

These fields are large.

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

Looks like a fun day out and thank goodness for the photographer who had the ladder not your usual equipment 😊 Linda

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.
