Into the golden

 

We visit Grinter Farm (in Kansas) at the end of each August.  It marks my move from the summer season into the cooler days that fall brings.  A couple things I noticed this visit.

- The flowers follow the sun which makes them look like they're in conversation with one another.

- The leaves are larger than I remember & each has a jagged edge as if it was cut out with pinking shears. (which makes them a little prickly when you brush by)

-The yellow color seems to slightly shift from year to year.  This time the color felt a bit more red/ yellow and golden. (Maybe it has something to do with the sky that day?)

 

- I also noticed more bees than ever busily buzzing from flower to flower.  This made me happy as I know bees have been threatened by harmful pesticides & climate change.  We need bees they're one of Earth's best pollinators!

My final observation was that despite seeing this for years it still a complete delight for the eyes & spirit!

Have you ever visited or come across a sunflower field?
