This was one of those times I wished for something to stand on as I lined up the background vegetation that appeared like a green shower behind this sunflower head.
I was hoping to see a bird or two investigating these plants. It was too hot (90 F = 32 C) to stay out there and wait.
A few of the sunflowers in this field hadn’t reached the drooping stage of maturity.

Your first photo is particularly nice!
Thank you, that was my favorite, too.
Great capture of a sun-drenched field. Hot!
Thank you, Sam. This summer has been overly hot here, like a lot of places around the US. Not even dropping back much over night, more like we expect from August.
