A Mile-Long Sunflower Show

October 16, 2008

Two long rows of sunflowers are putting on a mile long show in Oak Grove.

The rows of sunflowers, if placed end to end, would stretch about a mile. They are located in a soybean field in the Oak Grove community. The field is bordered by North Highway 99, Highway 164 and Melvin Road, making it possible to drive all the way around the field. The closeup sunflower photos here were taking along the Highway 164 end of the field Wednesday afternoon.

    I wasn’t aware of these until now. I will be riding out to view them.

    Thank you whoever planted these, taking time to appreciate the small things is what is wrong with this country. No respect for nature breeds no respect for each other. Beautiful, I will have to remember it is there so when that big sunset appears I can run go take a picture. Thanks again for reminding me to slow down and notice life.
