    What a lovely haiku! Karen and myself, our then pre-teen nephew, and his parents came across a sunflower field, a really big one, and you could pay to enter. We have lots of photos of our nephew up against various sunflowers!

    warmest regards,
    Alan

    two winter deaths
    now the sunflowers
    bow their heads
