Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. That's what sunflowers do.

Today I was at the local supermarket, doing the weekly essential shop when a lady looks at me, takes her mask off and says "you bastard why don't you wear a mask". I ignore her but she continues to yell. First you have stories of people being verbally abused for wearing a mask (bashed even), and now you have people abusing you for not wearing a mask. What a hard crowd to please. Times are tough as it is, we don't need haters like you out there. Sure if you ask me politely I will engage with you and will acknowledge what you said but seriously 'you bastard?' was that part wven necessary? Why not smile at someone from a distance or give someone a nod. Positive energy guys. Have you got it? Photo: Sunflowers are a sign of positivity and hope.

🌏 Dunnstown🌎 . On Sunday we visited the sunflower fields in Dunnstown. It was a sunny day but as we approached the fields, it was getting a bit overcast with lots and lots of clouds. I didn't think to bring my tripod and ND filters and I kinda regret it now because the conditions were pretty good for long exposure. I guess the photo still came out pretty dramatic even without doing long exposure 🌻 . . ================================== For your daily dose of Melbourne food checkout: @Flabnbone_food =================================== . . . . . . . . . . . #visitvictoria #dunnstown #visitmelbourne #sunflower #rollingclouds #girlswhowander #topmelbournephoto #ilovemelbourne #tv_australia #livethecapture #ig_australia #igersmelbourne #wonderlustmelbourne #focusaustralia #melbournetouristguide #australiagram #cruising_australia #exploringaustralia #whatsonmelb #ulimited_australia #icu_australia #aussiephotos #wandervictoria #loves_united_australia #pocket_australia #melbournestravel #australia_shotz #icu_aussies #likemelbourne (at Dunnstown, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9i2Lfln-P2/?igshid=1e5nih1z95v3r
