Sunny Delight

Sunflower in Wisconsin prairie

Took a walk through a prairie near Madison yesterday. Only had about 20 minutes before the clouds started getting dark and I could hear thunder in the background. I managed about 30 shots, mostly of the sunflowers and compass plants before I decided to make it a short session.

To soothe my minor disappointment, I stopped at a nearby McDonald’s for a caramel frappe. Yeah, I know, I know. But once in awhile, I just can’t stop myself. So yummy and cooling. And it was hot and muggy outside. Wouldn’t want to get dehydrated, right?

Hmm. I do like to photograph sunny-dispositioned  sunflowers when it’s overcast, not so much sunflowers in thunderstorms however.

There’s nothing like a caramel frappe and the opportunity to take photos of sunflowers to make for the perfect ending to a day. :-) Lovely shot. Great focus on just the right spot.

Did the sunny D chase the clouds away or did you already know the way to Seasame Street? :) I enjoyed the photo and the story. You deserved that break that day for a carmel frapppAAA.
