    Default Giant Sunflower Field

    Hey Guys- Recently went for apples and pumpkins, lo and behold we run into this huge field of sunflowers at a state preserve. I thought these pics were cool enough to share.

    Hey Derek! Great shots! That field looks huge! How many acres of sunflowers was there? I bet your kids love them!

    @Bruce-- There had to be at least 10 acres, prolly more like 15. They were quite tall and there were butterflies and bees just having a field day. It was quite impressive.
