Lost Among the Sunflowers

 

I was heading home from the city just east of us (that I rarely visit) when I saw them. 

They were on the other side of the highway so I hadn't noticed them at first.

 

 

I think every single one of us can say that we love sunflowers, am I right?

 

 

But when there's a whole field of them, well, that's just a glorious treat for the eyes.

 

 

Once I discovered how to access the field I went back, cameras in tow.

I stepped further and further into the maize of golden beauties until that's all I could see.

 

 

I snapped and then snapped some more...

 

 

snap.....snap.....snap-snap-snap..........snap...

 

 

 

I was all alone, lost in a world where nothing but the sky and sunflowers existed.

 

 

Oh...and bees.

We can't forget about the bees.

 

 

And it was at that moment when I felt the first drop...

...it had started to rain.....oh great!

 I knew I had to make a mad dash for it if I didn't want soggy cameras.

My car was............right o--ver...........th-th-ere....s-s-somewhere...

 

  

...where was my car, anyway??

 

 

 Of course, I had lost all sense of direction, being up to my eyeballs in sunflowers.

Standing on my tippy toes, I was finally able to see my car in the distance.

 Had I really waded out that far in this delicious sea of yellowness? (is that even a word?)

 

So as fast as my short little legs could take me,

I made it to my car, just seconds before the bottom dropped out of the sky.

 

I had gotten what I came for.

 

 

And I was happy.
