OK, those of you that know me, will not doubt the craziness of my attempts at the "perfect photo". Jim Richardson with National Geographic told me to take pictures, then take more pictures, and then take more pictures....then delete the ones you don't like, then delete some more. So that is what I do!
Earlier this week, my friend Dee Dee told me I needed to see this field of Sunflowers and take some pictures. I told her I had been past it but all their little heads were facing West already as it was night. So I had this bright idea to get up VERY early Saturday....go out there and take a picture every few minutes and track their movements toward the sun.
I WAS TOO LATE!!!
I am sure I could hear them laughing as I climbed out of the van, chuckling at the lateness of my arrival. They were all proudly facing the rising sun, so I pulled out my camera and went to work!
Kansas is known for Sunflowers...not just because it is such a pretty crop, but also because they grow wild here. The wild ones are much smaller and have darker centers. This one popped up along with his more tame cousins!

This is Rock Town, it is a spot alongside Wilson Lake that we hiked to. The formation I am standing beneath are about 40 feet tall....I am in front of it.
We took a 4 day weekend recently and this was the view from our cabin, high atop a hill near Wilson Lake. It was gorgeous. We hiked 3 miles (in and out) to a pretty spot by the lake too. I was sure I could not make it...my husband said "Michelle, don't argue for your limitations", well I argued anyway, but I made it. Kansas has been wonderful this summer....after the tornadoes that is!
