Stopping to smell the...

Roses? Well if you directly translate the word for sunflowers from Swedish they are "sun roses". Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers and I can't resist a field of them. We were driving home from a beach weekend with my family and we passed by these somewhere in South Carolina. I gasped at the sheer number of sunflowers...they were just gorgeous! Of course we had to stop to take pictures! The owners of the general store beside of the field are the ones that planted them. They said they were just tired of mowing the huge field. What an attraction they created simply because they didn't want to mow!
