Sunflower Fields






Tecumseh Land And Trust
Rt. 68
Yellow Springs, Ohio
Oct 1, 2013


Remember when I went to visit the sun flower farm during the
summer and I had missed it?  They had already harvested the seeds
and done a second planting.  Well, I drove by yesterday and this is
what I saw!  It was worth the wait! 

 You can't look at sunflowers and not feel happy.
 Look there...I see you smiling! :)

    1. I know...it's incredible! Last year was the first year I knew about it! I've lived here for 30 years...makes me wonder how many seasons I missed! Hopefully it wasn't there all those years and I didn't know! ha.

    1. It's really something! They have signs warning for slow traffic out and there's always several cars pulled over and people taking pictures.

  3. My first thought when I saw them was "happy". Yellow is such a happy color and there is a lot of yellow there. Awesome photos! I'm smiling : )

    2. haha...do they have you on some loopy meds for that sore throat? haha.
      I don't think they usually do a 2nd planting, but spring came early this year and I wonder if they just took advantage of the extra time. I'm glad they did. Kinda nice to have this in the fall!
