So. Not quite apples. But Jenny posted pictures from a nearby sunflower field, and since I was feeling pretty guilty about not planting sunflowers for the girls this year we decided to take a drive to go find them.
Note that Anna spotted them first, and said “Look, I see the sunflowers!” but Carolyn and I only saw cornfields and dandelions. Twenty minutes later, after driving all over the area and wondering how on earth we could be missing a giant field of sunflowers, we came back along that stretch of road from the other direction and spotted them. Right where Anna had said they were.
Next time I’ll listen to the observant preschooler in the backseat!
It was a bright, sunny afternoon, which made for challenging lighting conditions – I mostly had to decide whether to underexpose the flowers or overexpose the sky – but I think I got a couple of great shots!
(At least we bought apples at the farmer’s market this afternoon. Maybe we’ll try our hand at making apple butter tomorrow while we’re stuck in the house for a 4 hour window waiting for the guy to come clean & inspect the furnace.)
