Saturday Scavenger Photo Hunt – “Happy”
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ~ Helen Keller
Sunflowers make me happy, and they’re my favorite flowers. It’s odd, because yellow and orange aren’t my favorite colors. Something in sunflowers bring out the “happy” in me.
This photo was taken south of Durango, Colorado – a few miles north of the the New Mexico border. The day was cloudy and there was a light rain. I actually turned my RV around so I could spend some time photographing the field. I spent quite a while just standing in the field and photographing the sunflowers – feeling the gentle rain and soaking up the “happy” of the sunflowers. Grace filled moments are a natural part of life – we only have to be open to the experience…
I love sunflowers. They are a sight for sore eyes, so to speak. Our dining table has things with sunflowers: table mats, small bucket with sunflowers where we put candles and hand towels.
Thanks for sharing your sunflower photo, it definitely maid me smile.
Have a great weekend!
Oh no! “maid me smile” sorry, that should have been “made me smile” but of course, you know that
I’m so tired been up since 6am, had students, went to a children’s party and went the nearby mall to shop for beach shoes. I’m still up uploading photos.
I’ve always loved sunflowers. They just see so happy and trusting! Thanks for the great photo.

I adore sunflowers too! I agree that yellow and orange aren’t my favorite colors, but there is something irresistible about a sunflower. Makes me smile every time.
This is a beautiful capture.
I’ve seen piles of sunflower photos this summer (including my own) but none as perfect as this! Marvelous!
I was looking through photos from 2006 the other day and loved…again…the ones of us all at Beverly Beach…you brought those gorgeous sunflowers for the table…cut them out in front of a winery, I believe…it takes one to know one…you are a sunflower yourself…love you….
