We were traveling out to South Dakota and we stopped along side the road, ran across the road and ran into this beautiful sunflower field. I made my children kneel down and snapped this picture. Not only is it beautiful, but it brings back fond memories of us living in Kansas.

The Sunflower fields are so beautiful when they bloom in August.
Did you know that sunflowers follow the sun? The face of the sunflower always faces the sun, In the evenings when the sun goes down they bow their heads until morning.
Most likely where the name sunflower came from.
Later I was informed that rattlesnakes are found in the fields. OH MY!!!!!!!!! Thank God for his safety.
