Late summer in Ottawa means it is sunflower season. August 10th the Ottawa Photography Meetup group scheduled an outing to take pictures of sunflowers at the Sultan Farm Sanctuary. I didn’t notice that event was rescheduled to Thursday the 12th so I showed up by myself. I had a nice chat with a photographer who was waiting for their clients for a maternity shoot later one other Meetup member arrived as well. So, we spent the evening taking pictures anyway.

Lots of creatures enjoy the sunflowers too.
