[blank]Normandy isn’t generally associated with fields of sunflowers,
but this year they are à la mode.[blank]
[blank]and while they may not be my favourite bloom,
I have to admit that they can be quite spectacular [blank]

Nothing says Summer in France like a field of sunflowers can…..you photos are gorgeous.
I love the way they follow the sun.
So utterly beautiful….I stood in a field of sunflowers outside Uzes just two weeks ago….it felt like another world, espcially as I'm typing this in Stockholm….on 3 separate occasions and felt my entire self be intoxicated by the spellbinding beauty and deafened by the buzzing of bees & cicadas! Rx
Blooms of sunshine & happiness! Great way to start the week-end 😀
the fields of sunflowers are beautiful.
I can not get enough of it.
An absolutely wonderful feast for the eyes.
yes, it is summer, this is France!
Here also a few sunflower fields / are not nearly as attractive as in France.
The first are now available in the flower vases in the house and on the terrace.
Thank you for the wonderful flowers.
Sincerely, Moni
I love sunflowers so your pictures are stunning.
Beautiful!
Absolutely delightful!
Happiest flower ever! You should do an engagement (desktop) calendar with your devine photos.
Sunflowers in Provence took me by surprise. I expected, indeed planned a trip for the purpose, to see lavender fields, but along the way, huge fields of sunflowers appeared. As we drove by in the morning all their faces were turned toward the sun, and then as we drove by them on the way back to the hotel in the late afternoon, once again their faces were turned toward the sun. Probably the most perfectly named flower in the world, sunflowers.
Your photos brought back those memories of seeing vast fields of sunflowers with upturned faces basking in the sun.

This is just such a delightful way to end my sunny day. I happen to be working on a sunflower painting as we speak. Gorgeous photos, I just love them so. xo
So delightful, I couldn't help but smile at these photographs, I remembered the movie Under The Tuscan Sun, that's when I fell in love with sunflowers. Again unable to plant them because of our magnificent and noisy birds- Cuckatoos and Galahs. As always beautiful photography. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Regards Esther from Sydney.
Lucky you! In east of France we are still waiting for them to bloom!
The pictures are wonderful,really the essence of France. Thanks – I love your blog.

So, So beautifu1!
I have to agree, they are not such a favorite of mine either, but en masse , they really are a sight to behold.
Sharon,reminds me of Sting singing
my favorite song fields of gold…
Fields of sunflowers are an amazing and cheerful sight to behold.
Lavender, sunflowers, ANYTHING with color in France, is that much more vivid because I see everything there through the proverbial rose-colored glasses. Cheers madame! Anita
En mass these flowers are just breathtaking!!!
So pretty. Thank you. I love to see a beautiful field of flowers.
Hello,so nice to meet You and be Your newest follower.Looking forward to getting to know You.Blessings Your way-Denise
Sunflowers are one of those French clichés that you can't help but be charmed by nonetheless!!!!
PS. Your current header reminds me of Edward Steichen's first color photographs–very pictorialist! 🙂
What a lucky duck to see so many in bloom at once and capture their beauty:)
Love the sunflower. The colour is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Just like a postcard – gorgeous.
Perhaps with climate change we will see more and more fields in Normandy full of crops that are traditionally grown much further south. Imagine melons, lavender and peaches all growing here!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your blog; I feel like I get to travel to France every time I stop by here. 🙂
