Just east of Denver for a couple weeks each year the farmers plant sunflowers. These hardy plants can survive with little water. They grow quite tall and the blooms are huge. It’s no wonder they are so popular. When they bloom, hoards of people come out to the fields to enjoy them and take pictures. It has actually become a hazard. Many thoughtless people trample are cut the flowers down without giving thought to the owner of the fields. I wish the farmers would unite and sell Sunflower Licenses (i.e. like a Hunting/Fishing license) to limit the destruction and to allow responsible people to enjoy the fields up close. I realize that would take a lot of man-power to police, but I would pay for the priviledge and I know many others who would too! In the meantime, we line the road enjoying the view! Thank you farmers for planting these magnificient specimens!

Sunflowers at the Airport
Sunflower Mardi Gras
Sunflowers in Monochrome
The sunflowers out by Denver International Airport are a huge draw to everyone. The fields go on and on for acres creating a beautiful setting worthy of a trip out there just to see.
This morning my visit was during a sad, boring sky so I decided not to fight it, but instead to shoot in monochrome. I think they turned out ok!

It’s Sunflower Season!
One of my favorite things to do in August is to search for great sunflower shots on the plains of eastern Colorado! This one I took last year at this time. As you can see the weather was moving in making the sky more interesting than normal. If you want to see acres and acres of gorgeous sunflowers, all you need to do is take a drive to the east of Denver International Airport. Do it soon, you won’t be disappointed!
