August brings monsoon storms, sunflowers and photo opportunities!

July brought us 8 plus days of 90+ degrees where my outdoor activities were limited to early morning hours or trips to the foothills to avoid the heat.  With predictions of daily isolated storms, I look forward to potential photo opportunities that feature dark, angry skies.

 

This time of year, I search east of town for fields of blooming sunflowers.  Because fields are rotated yearly, this is an annual event to find the magnificent, golden flowers.  I lucked out yesterday...not only stormy clouds, but a field of massive blooms.

I also was able to capture an airplane taking off from Denver International Airport with a backdrop of dark, angry skies.  The storms broke up for a short time but returned later in the evening.  Ah, August, you have so much to offer!

Absolutely stunning photos Emelyn.  LOVE the sunflower photo as they are my favorite flower.  Here in Arizona we now are into our monsoon season as well so the photos of the different skies are just amazing.  Thank you for sharing!

Hi Emelyn,

I think the sunflower photo is terrific and those giant ones are so happy as they look up at the sun.

Emelyn, your photo featuring the sunflower could be a postcard by itself because it is quite gorgeous and very unique.
