It’s been a bit of a dreary (not to mention windy) week in Norfolk and Freya and I got soaked for the first time this term walking home from school on Friday. As a result I thought I’d share some sunshine in the form of these sunflowers.
Mark came home from work with them, which was a lovely surprise. It just happened to be a night when there was a beautiful sunset too and I couldn’t resist getting them together.
They lasted a good while but as they were getting past their best, I decided to have a play with them. I’m always admiring flatlays on Instagram. How hard can it be, I wondered? Actually quite hard indeed when you don’t know what you’re doing.
The only one I like is this one.
I’d quite like to work it into my blog header, some how.
I hope you’ve had a sunny week.
As always, I’ve linked up with Darren’s My Sunday Photo. To see what other people have captured, please click on the camera below.

Beautiful photos, but is it wrong that I laughed slightly at you struggling with the flatlay? I can’t do stuff like that either and always thought it was just me!

Not wrong at all. We can start our own club 🙂

Hehe, thanks! Freya later decided the petals were confetti and chucked them all over the living room. I’m still finding them 🙂

Hi Tara, sunflowers make a very good substitute sun. They are such bright, happy flowers. Your top photo reminds me of a shy sunflower. Maybe it’s a little embarrassed to show its pretty face to the miserable weather?
