Yesterday, I headed out to the plains in an attempt to find some sunflowers. I did find this one small patch of sunflowers at the intersection of two roads. With the late spring and rains, the sunflowers will probably flower late this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my way back, I passed by these grain silos. By this time the sun was very low in the sky. This provided side lighting on the silos and green fields, in contrast to the dark skies in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
