# Sunflowers - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/sunflowers/ - Published: 2016-11-17T12:30:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout I passed the most beautiful sight along Interstate 90 in South Dakota, a field full of sunflowers in the late afternoon of an Autumn day. I took the next exit to try and get closer.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/1ab96-dsc02013.jpg?ssl=1) Typical of the mid west, you drive along a dirt road with endless farm land on both sides in hopes that it will eventually lead you in the right direction. For awhile I only see tractors and other machines used by farmers, but not the field of sunflowers I spotted from the road.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/25bc1-dsc02012.jpg?ssl=1) Turning left on intuition, I come to the edge of the mighty field. Giant green stalks hold the bright yellow heads, bowing slightly due to it’s weight and what I perceive to be sadness over the knowledge of the coming winter.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/a800e-vamg2258.jpg?ssl=1) It’s hard to describe the feeling you have out here, in the stillness of it all, yet not alone. A moment of happiness and joy bolted through my body from the power of the beautiful sunflower. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/sunflowers/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Sunflowers&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fsunflowers%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/sunflowers/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/sunflowers/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/sunflowers/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/sunflowers/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
