2023/7/21 - DOROTHEA DIX SUNFLOWERS
DIRECTOR'S CUT EXTENDED EDITION

This is the Director's Cut Extended Edition for this album, meaning I have included many photos which don't meet my typical artistic standards because they hold special memories for me. If you are looking for a shorter and higher quality collection, or if you are not a fan of spiders (there's only one this time! you can handle it!) visit the curated Theatrical Cut at DOROTHEA DIX SUNFLOWERS 2023 - SPIDER FREE THEATRICAL RELEASE.

After coming on the 18th, I decided it was best to wait for a few days before trying the field again, to give the sunflower seeds time to mature. It was still pretty early though. The big delight was noticing a daddy Blue Grosbeak watching over 3 fluffy fledglings (who I accidentally dubbed Groslings). They pipped and squeaked to be fed, even though they already had control of their wings. Truly a spoiled generation.

And thank goodness they were so chatty, too, because it made them very easy to follow
