Sunflowers

Here in Maryland, there are many farmers that plant entire fields full of beautiful sunflowers which pop up in the beginning of September. They're a pleasant surprise and are oh so nice to drive by each day. It's a nice little "good bye" to summer and "hello" to fall.

We live out in the sticks where there are many sunflower fields surrounding us. We see them when we travel north and when we travel south. For most of the month there are cars all along the road belonging to photographers and other people who are simply there to admire the flowers.

We went to visit the sunflowers and take pictures on Saturday as the beginning of our "half-year anniversary" celebration. Unfortunately, most of the sunflowers were sad and droopy. We did get plenty pictures of these little guys though:

 

 

They look like they really want to be big sunflowers like the rest. I think they're sweet.
