What beautiful amazing pictures (and flowers) !
Do you want to do our little photo challenge with us this month? The two topics are "Something Old" and "Beautiful" - those sunflowers would sure fit in the Beautiful category.
Gorgeous!

He is! Beautiful photos! While we were in Israel we saw fields and fields of dry, dead sunflowers and I just wished I could have seen them in full bloom.

[Tracy]

Absolutely gorgeous pictures as always, Meg! You never cease to amaze me in capturing God's beauty even in dead sunflowers. Awesome! :o) xoxoxo

[paige]

[Holly]

[Tara]

[shelly]

Beautiful!

You'll have to make a quick trip to il, my best friend has a little field of them that just started blooming late last week! (She gave ma a huge bunch of them...I put the lovelies in my livingroom and then my poor hubby started sneezing like a machine gun! Oh well...they look nice sitting on the porch too ;))

These photos brought a smile to my face and brought back memories. When I was in the Middle East I remember seeing fields and fields of Sunflowers. It was amazing… kind of strange to see such a thing in the middle of Iraq, but it almost gave us a sense of peace. Very beautiful flowers.

These photos are beautiful!

Gorgeous! I've wanted some neat pics of some sunflowers...but~

Please be careful out in those fields...There is a HUGE sunflower field behind my father's house and I took my camera and started out there one day with the kids and he stopped and wouldn't let me. He said they plant those for the (i think?) Doves because it draws them in and the hunters hide in the flowers and dove hunt...just passing that along ;)

[Heather]

Amazing indeed. Beauty around every corner...and everywhere in between- if we take a moment to look.
Meg- your photography is amazing! I can not get enough of it. What a gift you have been given!

Blessings,
Heather:)

That last shot is plum-perfect.

Just wanted to say that you inspired me to run. Not run away, but run "just to that tree". Thanks, I really want to get in shape and you are my inspiration to try running.

I also wanted to say thanks for giving my "Project Pillowcase" a boost -- we ended up with 107 dresses to send with this group going to the Philippines! That is totally, TOTALLY awesome -- and so much GOD.

Sunflowers are my favorite flower :) And GOD is AMAZING! I love your blog!

[Becky @ Farmgirl Paints]

I've got your sunshiny sunflower print right in my living room. Makes me happy every time I look at it. They are an amazing reminder of God's handiwork!

[Angela]

love your sunflower photos. even half dead they are beauties. the flowers, not your photos. love your new mirror by the way. i have one hanging in my garage waiting to be painted. turquoise or yellow. it can't decide. indecisive mirror!

[Heather]

In the face of beauty, how can we not believe?

[Privet and Holly]

If you hadn't said
they were half dead,
I never would have
known.....I was too
captivated by the
THOUGHT of a whole
field of these beauties...
Wow!

Have you ever seen the dark red sunflowers? So pretty! I like to mix those with the classic sunflower. God IS amazing! How can that be questioned when surrounded by nature?

[Gemma]

I love sunflowers : )

I always think they look like women's heads -- here, bowing to the universe...

[julia]

you could do a representational sort of photo shoot with the flowers. have your kids look sad/neglected, have them roll around in the dirt. call it "late in the season" or maybe "past due" something like that. As Tim Gunn says "Make it work".

[Taylor-Ann]

I just love your photo's. They always look so beautiful and these sunflowers are no exception. They don't look dead at all.

[Lauren]

Wow, these are sorrowfully gorgeous. And the close-ups--what design! I love those little details that He throws in there :)

[Transparent Mama]

Amazing photos. You said you don't use Photoshop. I am just curious what you use to edit them.

[Courtney Walsh]

LOVE sunflowers. they are so happy and fun. Your shots are super awesome! :)

[katherine]

[candace]

Thank you for sharing the beauty of God's creation.

[Laura]

I'd like to schedule a photo shoot for the family in dead flowers portrait

LOVE that

[meghan]

God is amazing. Those flowers are just little reminders...love it.

I love the sunflowers where were they? last time we saw you, you could not find them anywhere!

[Beth]

Can I use your sunflower pictures for an art class project? They are so much prettier than fake sunflowers. :)

[AmyB]

So pretty!!!
