Sunflower fields

We went to Portland today, making the same drive on the familiar roads we've taken thousands of times. The landscape this time of the year is always stunning: the mild brown of the dying corn, the golden yellow of the beans against that bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. We thought we've seen everything this drive has to offer until today ...

Giant sunflower fields that lined both sides of the road! So impressive and so very unexpected!

We stopped on our way home to snap one last picture.
