i was here too late.
i may still drag my family out here anyway for some pictures in the dead flowers…if it rains.
it was dry dry dry out here…dust everywhere.
i had a one thought while clicking away with my camera "GOD IS AMAZING!"
such beauty all around me.
these are such a special treat…..like sunshine right in front of me!
AmyB - So pretty!!!
Beth - Can I use your sunflower pictures for an art class project? They are so much prettier than fake sunflowers. 🙂
~LucyLu ~ - I love the sunflowers where were they? last time we saw you, you could not find them anywhere!
~LucyLu~
meghan - God is amazing. Those flowers are just little reminders…love it.
Laura - I’d like to schedule a photo shoot for the family in dead flowers portrait
LOVE that
candace - AMEN! 🙂
Thank you for sharing the beauty of God’s creation.
katherine - I LOVE sunflowers, they are my favorite….your pics are gorgeous! And yes, God is amazing….love your blog too ~ Blessings, kathy
Courtney Walsh - LOVE sunflowers. they are so happy and fun. Your shots are super awesome! 🙂
Transparent Mama - Amazing photos. You said you don’t use Photoshop. I am just curious what you use to edit them.
Lauren - Wow, these are sorrowfully gorgeous. And the close-ups–what design! I love those little details that He throws in there 🙂
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.
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”.
Elizabeth - I always think they look like women’s heads — here, bowing to the universe…
Biz - You are so talented!

Sugar Mama - 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?
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!

Heather - In the face of beauty, how can we not believe?
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!
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!
charity palmer - Sunflowers are my favorite flower 🙂 And GOD is AMAZING! I love your blog!
Sheryl - 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.
Flower Patch Farmgirl - That last shot is plum-perfect.
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:)
Amanda - 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 😉
Amy - These photos are beautiful!
Kasey - 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.
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 ;))
Tara - such beauty from God!!!
Holly - so pretty!
paige - so true! i love a glorious sunflowershoot too!
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
PaisleyJade - 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.
jaz - 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!
sarah - love it!
what did you use to round the corners of your photos like that? it’s so in right now…
