This picture was taken near the city of Paarl in Cape Town. While having a lovely lunch with friends, I snuck off the table to loose myself in the middle of the Cosmo field in the farm grounds. Cosmos are a unique and ephemeral occurrence which attracts bees and photographers alike in and around the Western Cape. There is something magical about seating down in and amongst wild flowers.
