Sunflower sunset.

There is always something new to discover around here. A few weeks ago I found out that there are acres and acres and acres of sunflower fields in the McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Maryland. A trip was definitely in order. It was a ridiculously hot and humid week (can't complain much because this has been a beautifully mild summer for weather). We arrived near sunset to avoid some of the heat (of course that humidity never goes away at night) and it also turned out to be an unbelievably gorgeous time to see the sunflowers. The evening light was beautiful (proven by the fact that I could not stop taking photos). It turns out that a giant field of sunflowers is really fun to photograph.





















 Pretending to be butterflies.





 Playing "What time is it, Mr. Fox?" (Oliver, in the background, had apparently given up.)


 "Hold you! Hold you!" (Meaning "hold me")



And some photos taken with my phone while the girls were taking pictures with my camera...











 Little House on the Prairie anyone?

Yards Park

Summer evenings in Yards Park are my favorite. We met some friends down there one evening a few weeks ago for a dinner picnic. The kids had so much fun playing in the water and could have stayed all night. I love the quiet setting on the river and the fun design of the park. It was a beautiful night for visiting with friends. I hope we can repeat this adventure soon.













We had a big group of friends. So fun.
