ROOM WITH A VIEW

A few years ago the field we can see from our bedroom window was filled with sunflowers, and now, once again, the sunflowers have returned! Crops are rotated so that we rarely see sunflowers in the same spot each year, and this year many farmers have chosen to plant wheat, given it's high demand. When I looked out the window and saw yellow here and there, I knew this would be our year!

My plan was to get up early this morning and drive over to the field to take pictures, but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. We woke up this morning to cloudy skies and strong winds. I'm not sure if we'll see any rain, but without the blue sky as a background, I won't be taking sunglower photos today. I will try to post some of the sunflower phots we took earlier in the week just as soon as I can.
