The sunflowers are in hyper-drive right now in Kansas. Simply spectacular. There is a farm not too far from here with a field full of amazing sunflowers that I showed you a few years ago. But on Sunday I discovered it's cousin.
It's more common,ordinary, side of the road kind of cousin.
Except when you get up early to go on a walk and all of a sudden you encounter a whole big bunch of them, it feels pretty majestic.
Whether the sun is to their backs, the side, or full on front - they were all lovely.
I liked the paths mown through the fields; encouraging exploration.
Sunflowers. They can't help but make me smile. Even if I did walk through a big spider web on the way there and do that crazy slap my chest trying to get it OFF dance while I hoped no one was watching.
How I love Sunflowers, the happiest flowers of all varieties out there. They make me smile too.
Doing that spider web icky off dance I've also done. There's a worse one: Black Widow webs! likes, they stick like glue, You try to peel them off your hand but they stick to the other hand. Grosses me out. I have to get a wet paper towel to wash the dang things off me. Nasty!

Went to the Grinter Farms sunflower fields today, inspired by your post. Wowza. Gorgeous. We definitely bit off more than we could chew walking down the road and up the hill to the fields beyond the trees (too humid today and we are pitifully out of shape!), but it was worth the huffing and puffing to reach the beauty that met our eyes! I only brought home 5 sunflowers, but they are a superb five. ;-)
