Sunflowers at Sunset
Advice from a sunflower: “Be bright, sunny and positive, spread seeds of happiness, rise, shine and hold your head high.”
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 15th of March is "flora in March" where the flower has to be photographed in the month of March. The day the theme was announced, I was going to a ‘sunflowers at sunset’ photography experience at the largest sunflower farm in Victoria, in the small town of Dunnstown, just on the outskirts of the provincial city of Ballarat. Imagine my delight when I read the theme was announced! I took many photographs over the course of the two and a half hours we were there, but this is the one I chose. I hope you like my selection for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Laiken Britt’s picturesque sunflower farm was not only the first in the Moorabool Shire, but in Victoria, and remains the state’s largest, attracting thousands of people on weekends to the little town of Dunnstown whilst the flowers are in season. ‘Pick Your Own Sunflowers’ has been running for five years now, but this ‘sunflowers at sunset’ visit was my first. I hope it won’t be my last!
