"Happy Faces"

This morning I had to stop the motorcycle and capture these "happy faces".  As I stood there taking photos I had the urge to say, "You're all probably wondering why I called you together for this meeting in this field."

    These are as beautiful as beautiful gets! I love your composition, especially the second photo! The meeting of the sunflowers could probably accomplish more in one season than our politicians! (sorry, couldn't resist) Super awesome, Mike!

    Hi Mike!!
    I love sunflowers!! Wish I had a field of them! The pictures brought a smile to me this morning...now I remembered that I must go weed a garden before it gets too hot!

    Carolyn,
    Thank you for your comment! I agree with you on our political climate!

    Stacey,
    Thank you! They remind me of people - young, older, tall, not so tall, and looking with anticipation.

    Eve,
    Thank you! I'm glad you got a smile. Yep, yard work is never-ending!

    Jel,
    Thank you for stopping by!

    Watch out, they are all "stalkers"! Ok, bad pun. But you have to admit they do have stalks.

    Hi Mike

    Is there anything cheerier than the bright, sunny faces of sunflowers. Can't help but smile at them all! They're very attentive to their meeting, and some appear to be standing on the chairs. Good to see you back! :)

    Thank you Kari! I'll have to stop for another meeting with them but with sunshine. It's been a nice mild summer!

    They all look like they're listening attentively to whatever you had to tell them!
