Sunflower Fields

These photos were taken in Granville County yesterday. This field in particular has rotated crops from year to year. Last year they planted tobacco in the first time in many many years. This year they have planted sunflowers for wildlife. Sunflowers attract a diversity of wildlife, including Gold Finches, Doves, quail, turkeys and numerous song birds.
The most amazing aspect of Sunflowers are the patterns which they create, though I guess you can find this amazement throughout all of nature. What makes Sunflowers stand out would be the colors, designs and large scale (compared to other flowers).
