The sunflowers were all facing towards the church, which I wanted to get in the photo, so although I took some photos I was disappointed.<br /> <br /> I revisited again later in the day when the sun was out and took this photo. Unfortunately the sunflowers were still facing in the wrong direction, but I decided this was the best I was going to get and anyway, the rain clouds were gathering again.<br /> <br /> Out of several shots I took, this was my wife's favourite........so if you don't like it I can blame her.
