Adventures in Michigan's Up North 
One of my favorite flowers!

They have never been among my favorites, but there’s something special about acre upon acre of any flower that transforms them into something wonderful. One of these days I will get downstate during the tulip festival where a similar scene can be seen (see what I did there? :p ) in colorful arrays of tulips!
You are just too clever!
Great stuff. I just hope that they don’t go on the march. When I was a kid, I was always confused by the road sign “Heavy Plant Crossing”. Never saw one though. ❗ Oh the sadness of it all in the hedgerows, eee aaarr 😀
Yes, the triffids concern me, too.
We don’t have “heavy plant crossing” signs around here. We do have the occasional “bump” sign, which is funny, because it should always be either “bumpy” or “bumps.” When we lived in Kentucky, we used to see “congested area” signs, which were *never* actually posted near high-traffic areas.
Keep an eye on those hedgerows! Watch especially closely for bustles.
Well if it says bump, take it as an instruction. No one could reasonably blame you.
Oh no, not the bustles
Such a beautiful place.
I think every farm should be outlined in sunflowers 🙂 (I’ll be sure to pass the suggestion along to my dad, who I am sure will love it.)
These are beautiful, Heather. Where are they?
Thank you Pat 🙂
There are many fields in the area, and these were taken in a few places. You can find one field just south of M-72 between Acme and Kalkaska, near the casino. Others are found in the triangle area between M-72 and US-31. If you ever want specifics, I’ll be happy to provide full directions!
That close up with the flower and the bee is gorgeous! The colors are amazing! You did a great job there!
I admit that it was just a quick settings-adjustment on the camera. The rest was wait and click 🙂
