Day 2.3

Under the midday sun at a sunflower farm.

Finally we got ourselves here.

Map of the farm.


Play the video to see this twinkling thing.



This building housed a restaurant selling some sunflower-related stuff.


The patch nearest to the entrance was lavender.


Spot me.


With that comes a very suspicious sunflower beside the many rows of lavender. The sunflower fields were quite a distance away, so maybe somehow or the other some sunflower seed landed there.


We can assume that sunflowers' mode of dispersal is by wind, or some visitor was munching on some sunflower seeds and a few landed at that spot.

There was a pond...


...some goats...


...ah finally the sunflowers.............


.......which were kind of disappointing. I think we were there at the wrong time. They were blooming but wilting too.

Look at how bad some patches were.


Sigh.


But that of course didn't deter us from finding a good spot to take a picture. We were there already anyway.

One more.


And this one was kinda funny because in the end I blocked them and Twiggy blocked Annie.

More sunflowers.


And some had yet to bloom.


There were other breed of flowers around.

Snapdragon.


Nice.


There was a souvenir shop which was kinda uninteresting to me. Didn't buy anything.

We then trotted to the restaurant for tea. =D

The interior of the restaurant.


Ice water.


Our cakes!


The set consists of a drink, a cake, and their sunflower jelly.

Everything was not bad =)

The sunflower jelly was yummy.


I prefer it without the creamer.

And my drink was some sunflower ice blended drink. It wasn't too sweet and it was refreshing! Perfect. =)


That's about it for the farm!
