Sunflower

Work from home day today, so after the morning school run i decided to have a quick roam about a field near the house before starting work
as needed to clear my head. Did the trick nicely.

Spotted sunflowers growing round the edge of the field a few weeks ago, and most are now dying off with only a couple still standing so decided to get this in the bag before they were all gone. Cant go a summer without the obligatory Sunflower blip!

Apparently the farmers get paid approx £80,000 for planting wild flowers etc around their fields to encourage bio diversity. It certainly seems to be working from what i saw this morning, as there was plenty of insects, birds etc going about their business.

Tried taking some more shots of the fields with sky in the background, but again they were too washed out to use, so i must get off my arse and order some grad filters!
