Sunflower fields

The monastery we're staying in here in Castilla La Mancha is surrounded by sunflower fields - miles and miles of sunflower fields.

Enjoy.

    Sunflowers are among my very favorite flowers. I was fortunate to have received a nice bouquet for my birthday, and now whole field of them from you. Thank you, my friend; they're absolutely beautiful!

    Love, love, love these photos! My absolute favorite though (not posted here)is the one of you in the middle of the sunflower field, with the camera. I think The Mister posted it elsewhere.

    Jess - we missed you in Uclés! You're still the person that comes to mind when The Mister plays "turn right at the traffic light..."

    Megan - thanks! come on in!

    Stunning! When I studied in Granada one summer of high school, I fell in love with the fields of sunflowers throughout Andalucía. My (American) teacher told me they were even more beautiful in the spring, so I vowed to return to Andalucía in the spring, but when I studied abroad last year and drove through the countryside, I saw none! I realize now they're throughout much of Spain, not just Andalucía, and it seems like summer is when they're actually in bloom. From what you've seen, is that true? I was misled for years!
