My photos this week are not my own but are those of Gregg's cousin Fayette who is a wonderful photographer. She sent these to me a while back and I asked if I could post them on my blog. I thought they would make an ideal series for this week's contribution to SkyWatch Friday. Fayette and her family are shown here at a recent tournament they all took part in. They live in North Dakota and all photos were taken in that State. Thanks for letting me share Fayette.
This is a beautiful sunset with Fayette's husband in the foreground.
I should have asked the name of their dog but doesn't he look like he is enjoying himself?
This photo was taken at the horse festival when my father-in-law and his wife Celia visited the family and took part in the parade. He also went back for his high school reunion. F-in-L is sitting in the back of the wagon in the black shirt and Celia is wearing the pink shirt.
Sunflowers as far as the eye can see.
I am wondering if this is part of the Badlands.
Thank you Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise for hosting SkyWatch Friday. Friday’s are a time for us all to get together and look at each other’s sky photos from around the world. If you want to join in you can click right here.

Hey Denise,
I really like the first shot. Reminds me of some of the fields back here in PA.
Happy SWF!
All of your pictures are outstanding dear Denise, but those sunflowers really take my breath away. Just adorable!

the field of sunflowers is simply delightful. i'm sure the squirrels would find that extremely appealing.
Beautiful! I love the sunset photo and the sunflowers. Most of us don't think of North Dakota as a scenic state but obviously they do have some lovely scenery.
You have so many lovley photos that i cant decide which is my favorit.
Super!!!
Beautiful shots! I gotta say my favorites are the sunflowers and that pooch. He sure does look like he's enjoying himself. :o)
Beautiful pictures. Very special
Great shots, Denise! Love the sunflowers and, yep, think you're right about the doggie! Doesn't look too ecstatic about being in a boat on the water. Marvelous sunset shot! Fun post!
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful photos. I enjoyed them.
Lovely images!
I like the All-American feel of the rural farmer in the first one and that sunset is just plain gorgeous; but the shot of the sunflower and sky is breathtaking.
Kudos to Fayette!
Great pictures all. I especially like the dog in the boat and the picture of the sunflowers spreading up the hill is just plain awesome.
The photo of the sunflower field had me wowowing out loud!
What a wonderful collection of photos your friend sent you. The shot of the sunflowers is breathtaking! Great sky watch post, Denise...
Kind regards, Pam :)
Denise: Beautiful cptures of the sky for SWF.
I love all the photos. My favorites are the field of sunflowers and the harvesters in the field. Tell Fayette "Thanks for sharing."
All the shots that your cousin captured are amazing. You said it, the dog is definitely enjoying it's boat ride!
The shot of the sunflower field is lovely :) Wish I was there to witness those lovely flowers :)
I'm impressed by the sunflowers, and by the 3 mower/tractors all in one shot! Their dog looks a little like Daisy.
Wonderful series of beautiful photos with lovely views. The sunset took my breath away ... the doggie is just too adorable and who doesn't love sunflowers??? Thanks for sharing ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Hi Denise, you are so thoughtful to feature your friends' photos. They are all wonderful. I love the one of the sunset and the one with the dog. The dog is obviously enjoying the wind. I love the sunflowers too!
Wish you a great weekend!
Love that one with the field of Sunflowers. Beautiful pictures from North Dekota, Denise. Love the sunset one. Thanks!!!

Betsy
Fantastic photos !
What an awesome field of sunflowers. The look on the dogs face is precious, and that sunset is breathtaking. how nice of them to share with you/us.
Have a great weekend!
Wonderful shots!
Enjoy your weekend both.
Whoa! Cool shots, Denise! I really love your sunset photo - The sunset reflection is so shiny!
The pup shot is adorable - Looks like he's having a blast!
And the sunflower photo, I long to run through a field just like that one! I've never seen such a site!
Last but not least, that photo is amazing!
All great, but that dog is a dear!
Aloha, Friend!

Wow, I love the photos. Thanks Denise for sharing. Glad to know you through this blog.
Thank you also for the visit. God bless
What fun skies! I love the sunflower photos!
Hello from Finland !
The dog is cute and the pictures beautiful - Im glad I could see these.
lovely images all!
the last couple of photos are just stunning.
The farm shot is terrific and the sunflower field is magnificent. An interesting collection.It is great to share photos.
I love the sunflowers!!! I cannot imagine a field of them stretching all the way to the horizon!!
I see that the sun is just about to get extinguished, which would explain why it stays dark at night. Who do you suppose ignites it every morning?
These are amazing.
I love that field of sunflowers, are they for seeds or for cut flowers.
Once I grew them in a row, and then pretended they were a field.
I like the sunset photo and the view from the last shot. But, the photo of sunflower field is just spectacular to me.
