Sunflowers are dispositioned to face east. But to make this morning‘s beautiful sunrise work I needed one that was a rebel. Meet Fred. And when I say Fred was the only amongst hundreds facing the wrong direction, that's no exaggeration.
The spectacular sunflower field itself is a tribute to Maria McNamara who was diagnosed with a glioma brain tumor at the age of six. This stunning tribute to young Maria attracts visitors from far-and-wide, and has helped raise both awareness & funds for a little-known condition. 50% of the profits from this shot will be donated to Maria's foundation - https://www.prayersfrommaria.org/
