Field of Dreams

As the warm months of Summer approach, 

I dream of long Summer nights, the hot sun sets low in the sky.

A soft breeze cools the warm night air.

As I drive down the dusty country road,

fields of corn sway in the late day breeze,

insects flit in and out of the rows in earnest.

The last light of the day falls below the horizon.

The sky turns a pale pink hue as another day draws to a close.

ENJOY!

Sunflower Study

As I made my way to my local nursery a few weeks ago, got out of my car and turned around, two long perfectly planted rows of Sunflowers stood ready to greet me. Each Sunflower plant growing tall as though its blooms might one day reach the heavens. Lovingly each bloom faced the sun longing for more life. Each beautiful yellow flower, many with bees buzzing in and out, stood soaking up the sun.

As I made my way to the end of the row, I slowly walked around behind the flowers. While doing so, I looked up to see this. As beautiful as the Sunflower bloom itself was this beautiful scene. A perfect circle of bright yellow pedals, a single long green stem and multiple large green leaves. Holding strong to Mother Earth this plant stood firm giving life to the beautiful Sunflower bloom it held. Its intricate detail too beautiful to ignore. At least in my eyes. ENJOY!
