I don't believe it's possible to set your eyes on this sight and not smile. Sunflowers as far as the eye can see.
I brought along an extra photographer for this assignment... just to be on the safe side.
4 eyes and 2 cameras is always best when one of us might get stung and be temporarily incapacitated.
I asked Chris to please walk up this path a ways and lie down and get a shot of the sunflower heads so I could see what they looked like from that perspective. He did not cooperate. Something about a bit of mud from the rain the night before. I was going to remind him about who was the assistant and who was the head photographer on this outing ... but since he is the one who read about the field and mentioned it to me... I zipped the lip.
If you are inclined to make a visit, here is a link to details on this field of sunflowers around Lawrence Kansas - the farmer's wife.
These are gorgeous! I would love to walk through those, may have to make a trip to Kansas next year about this time! They are growing puny sunflowers out here these days, can't find the old large fields there used to be... or have I just gotten taller?
Reminds me of the giant sunflower fields in the movie Everything is Illuminated.

Omigosh. That's my fantasy of Kansas.

A whole dang field of smiles! OMG, I'd love to take a romp through that field, maybe a small part of it, it looks huge. Wish I'd been there to assist in the perspective POV, but I have a pin head and it might have been misleading.
