MORE SUNFLOWERS

This morning we set out for a field just outside of San Venanzo. There are in fact three sunflower fields, all along the road leading from Rotecastello to Marsciano. I needed to get up close and personal with the fields to see if they were in full bloom...I can't really see the entire fields from the road, so an in-person check was the only way.

Once we reached the first field it was obvious that it wasn't quite ready....perhaps 70% of the flowers were open. The good news was that I could see another field off in the distance, but I wasn't sure I knew how to get there. Art felt confident that he knew the right road to take, and he was correct.









As we drove up the road there were even more sunflowers than we had imagined. From the top we could now see that the sunflowers simply cascaded down both sides of the hill, and the waves of yellow just went on and on! It didn't take me long to fill up the memory card of my camera.



I've posted more pictures on our FLICKR PAGE. Note that although the newest sunflower pictures now show up on the main page, they are also contained within the SUNFLOWER FOLDER, and once I add more pictures, the sunflower pictures won't be seen on the main page but will still be available in the folder.
