* Sea of Flowers; 花の海 2016*
This is the 3rd year of Sunflower post from this
place.
"花の海" is the biggest 'System farm' in western Japan. This year, they said
there are 500,000 of them which bloom with 3 time lags. Yes, it was really hot and precaution needed; I wore a hat with wide brim :-)
With some flower dud;
Left picture below is for the macro link;
I saw lots of butterflies "Pantala flavescens" flying over the flowers;
but really hard to take good photos, they won't perch on the flowers (^^;)

ReplyDeleteHello, gorgeous sunflowers. The field of flowers is just gorgeous. Lovely series of photos. Have a happy weekend and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako, thank you for sharing these beautiful sunflowers with Today's Flowers. I am so happy to see you there and appreciate your participation, especially as I have been on a break for a few weeks. I am happy to be visiting you again. I can just imagine all the butterflies and seeing the dragonflies enjoying those beautiful yellow flowers. I loved all your photos but especially liked the one of the two young ladies with the white umbrella among the sea of sunflowers. Thank you again and I wish you a very happy weekend. From your friend in Virginia, Denise xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, this is amazing, Miyako san! Such a beautiful sea of sunflowers. 「絵に描いたような、、、」というのはこういう風景を言うのですね。すごすぎです! I love sunflowers. Their cheerful colors and faces looking up sun are so delightful. I wish I could fly over the sea like those butterflies. They must be enjoying the view from up in the air :-)
ReplyDeleteThe rice-straw cat house is so cute! Looks cozy and also the material must be attractive for scratching for some kitties :-) Have a happy weekend, Miyako san!
Wow - so gorgeous and cheerful.

Welcome to SEASONS and hope we will see you back very soon (Hope you know that SEASONS goes beyond landscapes and flowers - any experience or event in the season is a great subject) Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I love sunflowers. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteSuch a glorious display of bright yellow sunflowers. They look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh, so beautiful.What a spectacular sight.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of the two girls gazing onto the field with the white parasol. That could be a poster!
What a sweet little woven cat basket ~ although, my previous cats would never sleep in any bed I bought for them!
Love to you across the miles!
Hellou again! The two girls under the parasol are so exquisite!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color and nothing better than sunflowers. Thrilling to see them all in a field. A store, too! Wonderful. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteMiyako San, your sunflowers have brightened my day, what a stunning sight they are. your mosaics are beautiful. Thank you for sharing these beauties with us for Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteSunflowers always make me smile. They are such an emblem of summer and I am sure that every child has, at one time or another, planted a row. I like your photo of the girls with the umbrella in the sunflower field. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love to see sunflowers in a garden - but this is extra special being so many sunflowers!
ReplyDeleteMiyako, Thanks for sharing sunflowers! They are my favorite. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteSea of flowers indeed! And such a perfect color...yellow, to brighten our day.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting with us birders this weekend.
Lots of beauty and positivity! What gorgeous flowers of the sun! So pretty aspects captured through your lens!
ReplyDeleteHave a very lovely week ahead!
Amazing, I have never seen such a profusion of sunflowers. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love a field of sunny flowers.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Miyako from a still sunny and humid New York. I just love sunflowers. Mine are just starting to bloom but I would love to see so many sunflowers with happy butterflies and bees visiting ... Michelle
ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sea of sunflowers in their pretty golden yellow!
Our Sister-City of Sanbongi (part of Osaki City) also is famous for its sunflowers.
However we did not get to see such huge fields when we were there in July.
Love the flying dragon flies, you captured the total in a an excellent way.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
The most cheerful of flowers.

What a wonderful sight. You cannot help but smile at those beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. What a wonderful place to take photos
ReplyDeleteWhat a heavenly post. It brings back the memory of driving in Colorado and passing huge fields of all bright yellow sunflowers. I got my husband to pull off the road and I walked out into the field so he could take my picture surrounded by beautiful yellow sunflowers. This are wonderful captures. The one of the field from behind with their umbrella is my favorite. And the hat is oh, so cute. If I had been in the shape I would have bought it as I always wear brimmed hats. genie
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sight those sunflowers are, so many of them lifting their heads to the sun. Hats are good ideas on these hot, sunny days. I wear mine often. Are the sunflowers harvested for their oil? Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteLove all the sunflowers

I love sunflowers Miyako. Our oldest grandson and his wife were married in an outdoor ceremony; they had vases and vases of sunflowers and you could see some still blooming behind the shelter... the prettiest wedding ever! And yours is the most beautiful flower farm ever!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing place to visit. So many gorgeous sunflowers and photographed beautifully. Loving the one of the two girls under the umbrella against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Wednesday :)
Lovely fields of sunflowers. It must've felt amazing to stand among them.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have never seen so many Sunflowers before adn I love the shot of the 2 girls in the field with their umbrella up.
ReplyDeleteHello Miyako!:) Rarely have I seen such beautiful pictures of Sunflowers. These are all beautiful images and I also like the one with the two girls with their backs to the camera sharing a sunshade. It could easily be a wall painting. The cats homes made out of straw are cleverly made, and look very attractive, they remind me of bee-hives. Have a nice day, and take care.:)
ReplyDeleteWow that's a lot of Sunflowers. So very pretty. What a nice entrance to the garden as well.
ReplyDeleteWow! So many sunflowers! They look beautiful, I can only imagine how spectacular they are in person.
ReplyDeleteMiyako San!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful with lots of sunflowers. Makes you smile.
Have a nice day / Marika
