I hadn't visited this area for over a month, and when I finally did I was quite surprised at all the sunflowers that had seemed to pop up right out of nowhere. I hadn't previously spent much time in this area and I wondered if this happened every year, but I have since learned that it does not. But, it happened this year and, although I was alone, I decided to attempt the challenge of creating a photo of me walking along - just me, nothing artificial added - seemingly almost lost among the sunflowers. It was a lovely and peaceful afternoon spent enjoying the surprisingly new beauty of the area.
