Sunflower Season

At the moment as you drive around the Touraine (and I suspect many other French regions as well) you will see a lot of sunflowers. This year it appears that sunflowers are the crop of choice: even the field above Preuilly (which is usually planted with wheat) has sunflowers this year.

On Thursday we visited Montpoupon with Elizabeth and Vic and spent quite a bit of time driving through field after field of sunflower. This isn't a hardship, as they have such a sunny disposition.

Very nice new header photo, Simon. Classy.
The sunflowers are beautiful, too.

CĂ©lestine stands out beautifully against that 'sunny flowery' background'. She really is a very classy lady! Martine

I've noticed that there seem to be more sunflowers than usual up our way, too. Nice shots!

Out cycling yesterday, I spent more time stopping to take photos of the sunflowers! Diane
