Hi! I love seeing all these sunflowers—thanks for sharing them. I'd be curious to know what general area they were growing in, if you're OK with saying.

Re the small bluish flowers, I am not am expert, but agree that they could be morning glories. I zoomed in on your shot to try to see their leaf shapes: three-lobed. Then I got confused, because if I just do a web search for morning glories, I see a lot of heart-shaped leaves, instead.

However! Wikipedia says that there are more than 1000 different species of plants that are commonly called morning glories [link], and at least two of those species can have three-lobed leaves: Ipomoea hederacea [link] and Ipomoea nil [link]. So, quite possible!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
