Who observes sunflowers know they do not always face the sun. Great tales are written about sunflowers, how they came alive (a girl fell in love with the sun, was allowed to marry him but not look at him. Exactly that was what she did...)
From a distance, the field of sunflowers looks great but once near there are some strange creatures growing. So many heads are bend down. It's kind of depressing.
There are plenty of sunflowers among the dirt road I don't need to walk into the field to take some photos.
A closer look (macro option) turned out to be no good in combination with the wind. Holding still is too much asked. My phone had a closer look at the hairs instead of the bud. How odd.
Not all sunflowers growing here are the same species. It might explain why a part is small and has more than one flower.
The three above all grow at the same plant. Indeed these sunflowers look like plants. They are not the same as the very first I showed.
As you can see not all sunflowers face the sun, face in the same direction. It's a tale just like the girl who turned into a sunflower, the very first sunflower.
Many sunflowers, especially the bigger ones already face the ground. Soon the yellow and green will make room for dark brown till black. The color of dry, dead sunflowers. They will shrink and wait till the farmer stops by to cut them all.
I was too slow to take a photo of a bee look-alike insect visiting the sunflowers. It looked as if it lost all its color.
Camera: mobile phone Samsung A10
Macro option: partly used.
PhotoGrid (free app) used to make the photos smaller.
Those are some beautiful flowers. I always wondered why they were named sunflowers when they DO NOT face the sun.
