Every couple of years the field near my house turns a wonderful, shining yellow. It’s currently at the height of its glory, so I took a 5 minute walk after work today.

It was late in the day, so the sun wasn’t lighting the field as it often does.. I’ll go back and catch it like that if I can!

But the softer light just meant I could appreciate each flower all the more.

Update
I went back. It was cloudy, cloudy, rainy, cloudy, aaall day long. However, as soon as I left work there was a brief burst of sunshine. I ran to the field, and took a few more photos before the sun went away for the night.

I was so pleased, the sun was exactly where I hoped it would be, and just bright enough to make the flowers shine, with just enough cloud to make the sky interesting. The photo gods were smiling on me that evening.

A little sun makes all the difference.
