OCEANS OF SUNFLOWERS



When I first got here the weather was cool and the skies were overcast every day. The sunflowers stayed inside their protective perianth waiting for their namesake to appear. Then suddenly last weekend it was Summer. The temperatures shot up and everyone started complaining about how hot it is. Sunflowers opened. Fields that looked like lush green carpets are now bright yellow canvases. And they are everywhere you look - in all directions. The sunflowers have "turned on" and now it is definitely Summer in the Loire Valley.
