happened upon

Over the weekend, while out doing birthday shopping for Aspen, Chris and I happened upon a glorious field of sunflowers. These fields were everywhere at one point, but with all of the construction of new neighborhoods in the last few years, these fields have become a thing of the past.

So we pulled over and traipsed through the field in the burning heat to get a few pics...and I'm so glad that we did! {and that I have a man who's willing to do stuff like that!}



Not bad for a girl who was never a cheerleader, eh? :)



This picture almost got deleted. When I took it, the wind was blowing and the flower moved from where I wanted it...but I'm so glad that I didn't delete it. When I got it onto the computer, the sharp detail of it was amazing!



I love taking the time in our busy life to stop and capture the beauty that surrounds us...there is so much beauty in the world...
