Hmm...where to begin. Last week one of my Flickr contacts (im pastor rick) posted a beautiful photo of a sunflower. I was not only taken by the pretty picture, but also by the "description" he left. After seeing that lovely sunflower I remembered my husband had told me about a sunflower field (actually two) that he saw one morning on the way to a sales call. The field is not far from us so last Monday I drove to said sunflower field and was blown away. I was able to walk among the sunflowers and take some "in your face" shots. It was a beautiful day ~ sunshine with blue skies and random big, fluffy white clouds. I must have snapped 50 pictures of the sunflowers. That's a lot of pic. And to make matters worse, I went back the following day for more shots. So ... what I have decided to do is make a little series for all my sunflower shots. I'm not sure if I'll post a picture daily, every other day, or weekly, but just be ready to see sunflowers. They really are pretty flowers ~ and they are beginning to fade just as summer is beginning to fade. I want to thank Rick for inspiring me ~ thank you, Rick.
Ohh...and today offically kicks off football season for all the colleges. Good luck to the University of Michigan*... my sister's alma mater (me, I'm a Ferris State girl) and all the other colleges in the great state of Michigan!
Happy Saturday, all.

The #MacroMondays theme for 4/28 is a single word that begins with M. The word must be in the caption (subject line).
Btw, I’m having such fun with this theme!!.

The maize crop around here is looking good! Significantly colour-corrected and post-processed in Gimp. Not so good is that somehow I have lost all EXIF during post-processing :(. Time to investigate...

I came across this late harvested maize field today (cut for seed rather than feed) which was full of Woodpigeon. A beautiful sight when they all took to the air. The birds were extremely skittish so it wasn't possible to get as close as I would have liked.
