Sunflower Adventure in Maryland

After storms had passed through the DC area, flooding would impact my expedition to explore the sunflower fields of McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Poolesville, Maryland.  But a benevolent couple from EL Salvador drove me over the larger pools in the road and we spent a short but meaningful mission of finding the sunflowers.  Not a fan of paying admission to sunflower fields and being amongst the photoshoots of the general public, this wild area off the beaten path.seemed like just the thing!  The couple, Nelson and Thelma, would be characters in this adventure–reminders of a time long gone.  When you could trust easily and openly.  Together we found the flowers, adding to the beauty of the day.
