Musings on Nature Photography - Sunflowers

I am sure that you have heard of @pinterest? It is a new social media platform that is growing amazingly fast! Pinterest has over 10 million users in 9 months, fastest growing site ever!  I really believe it!  I started using pinterest about two months ago and I am truly astonished how many people (mostly women) have repined my photo of the face of a real sunflower picture that I took this summer.  Bruce and I were driving up to Northern Jersey and came across a field of Sunflowers.  I grabbed my cell phone and camera, good thing I had my camera, and started shooting photos.  It was not easy photos to shoot, I couldn't get too close to the flowers and the wind keep them moving.  I got just one photo of the sunflower showing off all of the sunflower seeds.  I posted this photo on @pinterest and it went viral!  It has been repined at the time of this blog 155 times and I have 106 followers on my flower board alone!  I just posted this sunflower photo two weeks ago.  I have had numerous people tell me how much they love the picture.  It makes me feel so good that people like my photo and that it makes them smile! 

Here are a few more sunflowers...Enjoy and Be Sunny!
