Out in Pittsford there is a huge field of sunflowers that blooms in August every summer. This year we drove out and took some pictures. It is truly sunflowers as far as the eye can see.

The sunflowers were swarming with bees, but they were all drunk on pollen and could care less about us. I took a bunch of pictures and you can see them here.

  3. I recently moved out to Mendon and now I drive past those fields all the time. Boy was I surprised when what I'd assumed was more corn turned out to be sunflowers! One of these days I'll have to stop and buy some from the little stand they have.

  4. I love the sunflowers. There are usually tons in the unused plots of land and intersections around here. (They're considered weeds in TX, if you can believe that.) But this year's drought and temps have caused all but the most hearty to dry up. So sad.
    Great pix!

    That just makes me think of the poppy field scene in Wizard of Oz.

    Maybe it's cuz I just finished Wicked.
