The end of summer has arrived and with it the famous local sunflower field is in bloom. I've been chatting with the family running the field, waiting for the flowers to bloom so the field can open for visitor. Finally today was the today and they gave me an advance visit in order to announce that they are opening on Saturday 28 February.
As always, here are my tips for visiting.
Tips for visiting the sunflowers.
1. Bring your own secateurs. If you do forget they have previously sold some at the gate.
2. Wear sensible shoes. I know I'm wearing heels in the pictures, but I carried them in just for the shots. I then put on slides (a mistake) because there are large prickles and stepping beside one in slides is awful.
3. Take a picnic and enjoy the day!
3. Sunflowers are quite scratchy so if you get irritated skin from hayfever an antihistamine will help.
4. Pictures will look lovely any time of day but if you want golden hour pictures, look out for a twilight session.
5.
Dress to make your photos look stunning by wearing sky blue, white,
yellow, or beige. These are all colours that you will see in the
sunflower landscape. Green will make you disappear.
6. No cash? No worries! They usually have EFTPOS.
I'm currently renovating my blog and had planned to get it all returned to Blogger from Wordpress. I had intended it to be all done before hard launching back into blog posts but Sunflowers are blooming and I've been busy with so many other important things so let's fricken go. Here it is, half done.
