The Sunflowers Are Breathtaking…

Yuri and I had the opportunity to spend a Sunday afternoon driving thru the Lugansk Oblast after helping , close friend and PCV, Sara Cooper move.  I took the bus up to Svatovo, Sara’s old village on Friday and noticed that some of the sunflower fields were in bloom. So I asked Yuri to bring his ‘good’ camera when he came up to join us today to help Sara move.  The day was beautiful. I am so thankful that Yuri supports my love of beautiful landscape and photography.

But before we came upon a great field of sunflowers Yuri pulled over at random and took this great picture of a wheat field.  I love it!

The before…no blooms yet or a minimal amount.  Last year I missed the season of the sunflowers blooming, so I was thrilled to capture them this year.  I really enjoy sharing the before and after.  These fields were only a short distance from each other, but we were lucky enough to get a fabulous example of both before and after.  Truly breathtaking!

I have an overwhelming number of pictures of this field.  It was stunning!  Even makes a beautiful backdrop for a picture of our trusty steed (the car).
