Sunflowers

Wagner Farms, Rome, NY

It is sunflower time! Well, it is definitely time to visit Wagner Farms in Rome, NY. A friend at work sent me a link to Wagner Farms and their annual sunflower weekends. How could I resist something like this? Especially considering I’m only 10 minutes away from the farm.

Last night was about the perfect time to go. Sunset was going to be dramatic with the encroaching clouds and the temperature/humidity was in that sweet spot for summer. They do it up right. Food, music, games, events and even a wagon ride out into the fields for those with accessibility concerns. With my camera in hand I walked out into the sea of sunflowers. I’m keeping this place on my calendar for the next few weekends, definitely worth returning to the fields as the season progresses…

Low Water Reveals

Delta Lake State Park

It was another beautiful evening at Delta Lake. A little crowded for my liking, but it isn’t like I can kick them out, right? I can’t kick them out? No, I know, I can’t. It would have been a perfect sunset to capture the trees on the point in the corner of the beach area but it looked like a family had taken up residence there so I searched for a different view.

The extremely low water level has exposed quite a lot of the shoreline. Normally, the big rock in this image is barely visible in the water. The water in the lake will not be back to normal until next Spring. I’m hoping for another good sunset today and maybe if I’m lucky there will not be anyone out on the point. I would love another capture of those trees backlit by the sunset.
