Driving along Texas State Highway in McKinney, I noticed an unexpected splash of color along the side of the road.  I didn’t know where or how to get closer—so I recruited a friend to help make it happen.

He parked the car on the grass – next to the other cars that made makeshift parking spots.  The field was densely packed with flowers.  There were a few trails inside the field.  I walked through the flowers and got covered in pollen.  It felt like I could get lost in the field of yellow.  It was an experience like few others.

Here are the highlights of the sunflower photo shoot.

Notes:
Don’t spend your time wishing you had stopped to take photos – take the time to have some fun.
