Fainting Sunflowers

Sunflowers along Corralitos Road, Corralitos, CA

I saw these little sunflowers on my way home from work yesterday and had to stop and take pics. I don’t carry my regular camera around right now, because with my injury, I can’t hold the camera up to take pics.

But I did have my trusty Razr.

So I used my camphone instead and all was swell until I got super dizzy. The concussion effects leave me a bit swoony these days and i guess leaning over and doing all the posturing necessary to take these pics was too much.

I almost fainted right there in the field. Luckily, a few solid breaths later I was able to clambor back to my car and drive the 2.2 miles home. (where I milked it a bit for some lovey sympathy)

And yes, those are all yet-to-bloom sunflowers in the background. So hopefully I will be able to take pics when those come into their full glory.

be careful! we're gonna have to slap Road ID on you to go take pictures on your little camera phone. Cool composition. I like the big one down in the corner. Good line for the eye to follow into the rest of the image.
