Field of Sunflowers
A field of sunflowers, early fall 2008.
Driving through the Berkshires of Massachusetts, I often take backroads as I travel in Western Massachusetts with my digital camera ready.
I love the Berkshires because of the variety of the landscape. You can find lakes, mountains and fields of flowers. Some of my better barn and cow pictures have come from the farms in the Berkshires as well.
This field of sunflowers was on a very rural road, that changed from gravel to dirt and back to a gravel road again. I jumped out of my car amidst the crickets and bees to take a few shots of this beautiful field of sunflowers.
As I’ve said, this site is eclectic - you might laugh, think, or run screaming the other way. I apologize if you’ve bookmarked me for a laugh of the day, but I promise that those too are coming. I’m feeling pensive, in love with my new daughter, and the fields of flowers reflect my mood.
It looks almost like the meadow photo I used to inspire my small town that is the basis of a book I am writing.
