Petals at Sunrise

A really hot, stuffy night.  Sleep was at a premium and when I woke at 4:30 am.,  a half baked plan to head back to the field with the flowers from Wednesday came to mind.

In the end I needn't have rushed, the clouds to the north east preventing the sun showing until just before 6 am.  By that time the flower pickers were already heading onto the fields to harvest some of the crop.  

It was good fun to be out to enjoy the sunrise and this evening, cloud willing, there'll be an opportunity to see a blood red moon.  Last time it was at some unearthly hour of the morning, though I still made the effort.
