I let out a little squeal when I spotted my first sunflower field as we drove into Dordogne. I was so excited by these bright yellow 'happy' flowers that I literally ran through knee high grass straight into STINGING NETTLE. I was then caught between happiness and serious pain (thank god I had Avene thermal spray in the car for relief) as I admired this stunning sight in the French countryside.
While I was snapping photos with not a soul in sight, as if on cue, a little bunny hopped through the fields and into the apple orchard next to the field. So, so lovely.
There are literally acres and acres of sunflowers fields throughout Dordogne at this time of year. They really are a sight to behold. Just watch out for the bees...and stinging nettle! NHG x

That. Is. INCREDIBLE. I'm bookmarking this page under my "FRANCE TO DO" bookmark. Beautiful photos, you look fabulous! X
ReplyDeletep.s. the last time I was in Normandy I spotted a beautiful field of wildflowers and demanded we stop for a photo. I went flying into the field and was attacked by stinging nettles. Not fun :(
ReplyDeleteOh wow how gorgeous! I just adore sunflowers - it's so pretty to see 1000s of them disappearing into the horizon :)
ReplyDeleteHeaven! I love. Oh I drove past so many of these fields while traveling last year, would love to have stopped for a quick shoot! So pretty. Great work.
