The sense of humour of sunflowers.

Bogis-Bossey (Switzerland)

I confess I considered them a bit too conformist, without any distinct and strong personality.
After all they always stay in group and look always to the same direction, all together, they turn their heads always at the same time...
They wear all in the same way, without too many nuances, besides their flashy yellow garments.
Well, shortly speaking, I thought they were an example of mass conformity, like mass tourism.
I was wrong.
They invited me to spend a little time in their company, waving at me from their fields all along the road.
It would have been rude to refuse such a kind invitation.
The morning air was rather fresh and I had nothing urgent to do, so I went to play with them.
We had fun and they cooperated enthusiastically.
If you feel a little curious to see how sunflowers show their unexpected sense of humour and self-irony, you might click HERE to give a look to the images they have suggested me to take.


Probably I’m simply lucky, but so far I’m managing to survive summer quite well.

Second thought. If those are a well known brand of glasses, I'd sure send this one along for their advertising. It's a perfect promo shot.

Fabulous clever shot Marisa! What a "cool" sunflower person.
