Tournesols de Touraine.

 

Tournesols de Touraine.

Taken in Touraine - end of the Tournesol...

 

This year's sunflower season seemed shorter than normal,probably due to the inclement weather we have had recently.

Vendredi à vélo - through the tournesol.

Holidaymakers and locals alike will have enjoyed weeks of cycling through fields of sunflowers even if there has not been quite as much sunshine as we would normally expect for this time of year.

Bursting out all over Touraine.

Bon week-end à tous, have a good weekend everyone.

 

Love it when the tournesol begin to open up, a sure sign that summer is here for real!

Goodbye to the Tournesols in Touraine...

This is my favourite sunflower snap taken a while back near Chinon, sadly they are beginning to wilt around us as their season comes to an end.
