Update 11 - Sunflower

Sunflowers are so happy. This cheerful fellow sprouted out of our back vegetable garden this summer. It seems that a few of the seeds from the bird feeder managed to find their way to the garden, resulting in this flower.

Day 274 - Joy

Had a great time with our PreK buddies. My students were helping their little buddies make sunflowers using paper, markers and REAL sunflower seeds. One young PreK was itching to start the activity. I was grateful to be able to capture her expression. Unfortunately, it was a dark rainy day so the room wasn't very bright. I played with the exposure during processing and decided to change it to sepia to make the processing less obvious.

Day 270 - Sunflower

There's a patch of sunflowers that we drive by on the way home. I keep saying I should stop and take some pictures. Today I finally did. There was no sidewalk so I had to stand in the road. I wasn't able to get the exact angle I was trying for but chose this pic from the ones I took. I wanted to get the back of the sunflower from a more direct angle. Unfortunately, the leaf was in the way. I like the back of the sunflower and the soft fall colours in the background. Maybe I'll be able to find another patch of sunflowers before the season ends.
