Field of sun!

Thursday 8th September 2005 - Day 264

I couldn't resist popping out to this field of sunflowers that I keep on passing this evening. Some happy smiling faces - ok, I have a vivid imagination!

The tree behind the squirrel yesterday is a pseudoacacia (?sp). The leaf colour is the summer colour, in the autumn the leaves drop without a change of colour... pretty, isn't it!

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 APO EX DG OS
1/125s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto
