Awesome photos! I love sunflowers…they’re so cheery. Years ago, I grew some giant sunflowers that were taller than me. I’m thinking on planting some this coming spring.
Thanks, KT. The first and the third sunflowers are hybrids from the Maximilian (in the center photo) that mixed with fancy colored sunflowers we had planted years ago.
I have seen so many of your photos I had no doubt that photoshop was NOT used!
I use camera raw to adjust the photos. I use Photoshop to resize the photos before I upload them. I can resize them as a batch. All the post processing is done in camera raw.
You have every right to be jealous. But I’m sure you have a lot of beautiful surroundings.
Well, I live in India, in a cosmo city, so yeah, beautiful surroundings includes big buildings, loads of vehicles and tonnes of humans 😅 I so crave open spaces!
You have a very good point. We have lots of open spaces and not a lot of humans, at least compared to India. The village of Corrales has 35 people per square mile. Delhi, for example, has 29,259 people per square mile.
Ahhh THAT’S A DRASTIC DIFFERENCE! 😣 This dense population makes all the difference in everything from our air quality to availability of open spaces. I went to Europe for 10 days and came back visibly taller 😅 Clean air free from particulate matter snd vehicle exhaust really helps.
You are still in high school if I remember correctly? Maybe you could organize a field trip to visit the high desert southwest of the USA. The are so many cool land features in our wide open spaces. You would go back a giant.
Ahaha I so want to become a giant! 😉 I finished high school and I’ll be in college soon. My mom visited the US (many states) and can’t wait to go back. I want to travel the world and not miss out on anything beautiful, just like her. So I’m actually taking notes of what you said there! 😉☺️ Certainly as soon as covid eases. 😀
That’s great. Good luck with college. You have wonderful ambitions. Here’s a few links of what you can look forward to out here: https://wp.me/p1yQyy-5Jw
Beautiful photos Timothy. Did you read about the man out in the Midwest (A farming state, maybe Iowa) who planted acres and acres of sunflowers to honor his wife who passed way. It was amazing, all you could see for miles! Thanks for the day brightener 🌻🌻🌻
A lovely haiku. I love sunflowers, they are my favourite flower. I had them for my wedding even though it was more difficult for the florist because they need a lot of water or they wilt.
Love sunflowers, they plant huge fields of them in the park next to me and we enjoy heading over there every year and getting some shots.. before the crowds start showing up thanks to Facebook posts. After the heads all droop, they turn into dove hunting grounds.
Off Center & Not Even

The colors in the photos look so vibrant they could be fake!
Thanks, Stine. They are real.

Still the clouds for the win!
Thanks, Teri.
Stunning pictures and awesome haiku! Wow, the second one with the petals shining in the Sun- so mesmerising! The sky’s a beautiful blue too 😀
Thanks, Sam. We get some amazing skies out here.
I’m jealous! 😉🙈

THANKS! 🤩
You are welcome.
Following from your last post…. at least we have the sunflowers to look at and they are spectacular.
Thanks, Shey.
See, the flowers I was talking about, blooming in paradise where the painter takes joy from throwing his brustrokes where they should be! Sigh…
Here in blooming paradise, the flowers are happy despite the dryness trying to deflower it. Thanks, Marina.
buon weekend 😉
Grazie Simona. You too.
Beautiful! And once again… those skies!
Thanks, Nancy.
Beautiful photos Timothy. Did you read about the man out in the Midwest (A farming state, maybe Iowa) who planted acres and acres of sunflowers to honor his wife who passed way. It was amazing, all you could see for miles! Thanks for the day brightener 🌻🌻🌻
Thanks, Holly. I just looked up the sunflowers. He planted 400 acres of sunflowers to honor his wife. The fields of sun flowers are beautiful.
That is a wonderful to honor someone.
It really is. Even if all you have is a pot to plant them in.
It’s so amazing , so moving. She was truly loved!
Those beautiful images could brighten any morning!
Thanks, Lavinia. That is so true.
beauty in all it’s glory and your words to match make for a lovely start of my day.. thanks 💖🌝😉
You are welcome, Cindy. Thanks for the lovely comment.
You’re so welcome❣️❣️
Gorgeous captures!
Thanks, Cindy.
I still have some that haven’t even opened 😳🌻☺️gardens of the north are slow ~ have a joyful day Timothy 💫
Our gardens are slow as well. Late and early frosts are a real problem. Thanks, Hedi.
A lovely haiku. I love sunflowers, they are my favourite flower. I had them for my wedding even though it was more difficult for the florist because they need a lot of water or they wilt.
Thanks, Roberta. I’ve used sunfowers in floral attangements. They work really well, but they do like water.
Love sunflowers, they plant huge fields of them in the park next to me and we enjoy heading over there every year and getting some shots.. before the crowds start showing up thanks to Facebook posts. After the heads all droop, they turn into dove hunting grounds.
Fields of sunflowers are beautiful. Thanks, Brian.
Very nice, Timothy. Picturesque scenes you have captured. Lovely poem with a nice contrast between crashing (hard) and sunflowers (soft).
Thanks, Michele. We have a lot of contrast out here.
Gorgeous shots, Tim!
Sunflowers and cloudflowers. You clouds are cloudflowers!
I like the Haiku, too!
Thanks, Resa. Cloudflowers. Kindof like cauliflower in the sky.
Yeah.. kind of! Cloudliflowers!
Absolutely gorgeous blog and photography. ♥️
Thanks, Amber.
You’re welcome. 🙏🏻
