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…

Floral, Macro

When I go for a walk around the neighborhood there is one section of my route where the street has a fairly wide meridian. The city has built stone flower gardens every 30-40 yards in the meridian. They do a fairly good job of keeping the gardens filled with flowers, changing out the varieties as the season changes. I noticed the colorful arrangements currently on display last weekend as I returned from a trip to the store.

I attached the macro lens to the camera and headed out after feeding the cats hoping for a chance to capture some different flowers. I’m sure the drivers passing by wondered what that guy was doing kneeling down next to the gardens but I was unwinding from the day in the bet way possible.
