I went hunting for sunflower fields. They never seem to plant the same paddocks as last year! Eventually found these. It was very windy and they refused to stay still. Canon 450D.Thanks for views and comments. Very appreciated.

The Sunflow'r, thinking 'twas for him foul shame
  To nap by daylight, strove t' excuse the blame;
    It was not sleep that made him nod, he said,
      But too great weight and largeness of his head.
      - Abraham Cowley,English poet (1618 - 1667)

Same as the 'rape seed' over here...they have to plant in a different place each year, to allow the ground to 'restore the goodness' 9or summick like that)

A good low shot...did you manage to get back up okay then?

In spite of the wind you have got a very good capture of this large field of sunflowers Lyn.

A dynamic photo. I'm a great fan of back-lit foliage. It produces a wonderful stained-glass effect on the colors which you have caught here. Well done!

Love it! I'm always searching for a field of sunflowers and the only time I ever found one was before I was taking photos and didn't have a camera. I've looked for years since with no luck! Great perspective.
