Dawn's Early Light on a Field of Sunflowers, July 2010

Rising early in the morning has its benefits. This image is another one from a photography workshop given by Blue Ridge Workshops on July 11, 2010. If you are in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area and interested in a truly marvelous early morning workshop, this is given every year in July and well worth the money!

Sunflowers at Café Regis in Red Lodge, MT

Our day's adventure for September 8, 2009 included a stop at Café Regis in Red Lodge, MT for lunch before heading up the road to the Hellroaring Plateau... they invited us to visit the garden (where they grow much of what they serve) while we were waiting for our sandwiches to be made... the sunflowers against the clear blue sky caught my eye... our adventure up Hellroaring is detailed (with more photos of the spectacular scenery) on my vacation blog for those of you who might be interested!
