Sunflowers Worshipping the Great Big Tree

When we stopped (see main album for rest of story - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-08-23 ), one of Jim's comments was that the sunflowers all have their back to the road. They did all have their "heads" bowed -- so interesting to see -- but I think it was because of the location of the sun. But they seemed to all be bowing to the lone gigantic tree in the field.

Beautiful shot, the inclusion of the tree makes for a much more interesting composition than just a field of sunflowers.
