A sunflower turns its face to the sun and
basks in the warmth of its glow.
It's that time of year again.
Time for my favorite Sunflower Festival.
A friend and I traveled the Sunflower Trail this past week and
I took just a few pictures. The flowers were late in blooming and the blooms are sparse compared to previous years.
I think it was close to 100 degrees and very humid by the
time we reached the festival and we along with the
sunflowers felt a little wilted.
These pictures are not the best quality, but it is hard to hold a
camera when you are melting into a puddle!
Even so, these bright, cheerful blooms made the trip worthwhile.
Here is just one of the beautiful homes we passed on our drive.
Hopefully, I will get up to the sunflower fields before they have bloomed out and take a few more pictures,
but I wanted to share these just in case I miss them.
Hope you have a weekend as happy as the sunflowers!

Hi Carolyn, aren't sunflowers great? I also love black-eyed Susans and coreopsis. A Sunflower Festival sounds like fun and your photos are great. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your weekend. ~Cheryl
Oh Wow! I think sunflowers ARE happy looking flowers, now that you mention it....
and what lovely pictures you got, even though you were hot in the sunshine....
Sounds like y'all had a really nice time gazing at all that beauty!

They do make a person's heart smile!
