Following Chris Froome's fantastic win in the 100th edition of the
Tour de France I am celebrating the colour yellow in a Much love Monday post today. Chris had held the Yellow Jersey for two weeks of the three week Tour and crossed the finish line in Paris yesterday all bedecked in yellow and with his team at his side. Congratulations to Chris and Team Sky.
Still on a yellow theme is that it is one of my favourite times of year when the sunflowers are in full bloom. We are so lucky to be surrounded by fields and fields of these bold beauties and I never tire of seeing them or taking photos of them either. Here are just a selection of my favourite pictures to share with you today, I do hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
You can also watch my time lapse video of a field of sunflowers growing from seedlings to harvest on YouTube by clicking

One of my favorite flowers !
ReplyDeleteMine too, you can't help but smile as you see them in their thousands in the fields.
DeleteA great sight and lets not forget, a usefull crop, too! You can`t fry chips in begonia oil!
ReplyDeleteI was examining our sunflowers this morning and thinking how difficult it must be to harvest the seeds. Great photos.
