sun ower yellow By Michelle Fedosoff

un ower yellow is the color of warmth, happiness, and summer and there is no place better to capture that than in the sun ower elds in Chilliwack BC.
Upon rst hearing of the Sun ower Festival, I was intrigued. I purchased my tickets online and set the alarm for the next morning. The ringing of my alarm at ve a.m. was not what I wanted to hear but I had a one-hour drive ahead of me and my goal is to make the sun ower elds as the sun comes up. Upon arriving, I park in the grassy area, show my ticket at the gate, and enter with dozens of other people. I nd a place to sit and wait for the sunrise over the owers. As the sun rises, the color of the sun owers gets brighter and brighter and I cannot stop myself from smiling. Rows upon rows of sun owers of different heights all with that beautiful warm yellow. As the morning grows warmer, the bees come out and I nd myself wandering from section to section counting the bees, watching the dragon ies, smiling at the children running, and being amused by the people dressed for sel es. I expected to stay for an hour, take a photo or two, then return home but instead found myself staying until early afternoon. Leaving, I purchase a sun ower bouquet and seeds for my own garden.
