sunflower fields

When we were up in New England last weekend visiting my family, we stopped at a local farm to take photos next to a gorgeous field of sunflowers. Every year, this farm grows acres and acres of sunflowers and sells bunches of them to raise money for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. It's a hugely popular time of the summer, and people from all over stop by to photograph, paint and simply admire the breathtaking collection of these happy flowers. This year, they raised over $100,000!

  1. the sunflowers make such a nice background for beautiful pictures, don't they? I know lots of people who take their kids there every year and can watch them grow through the years like that.... maybe we can start that tradition whenever you guys have kids! Baby Phillips+Sunflowers= BEAUTY!!!!!!
    Great writing as usual too, even though I was there, you make it very real..... Love, Mom

  2. Beautiful pictures, and that's a great idea, Joan. When we lived in Texas I took a picture of the kids in the bluebonnets every year!
