Sunflower Fields

 These pictures were taken at the McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Poolesville, Maryland.  Apparently the sunflowers are planted, so that when they are cut down they will attract lots of doves, which people will come to hunt.  It was a little morbid learning that fact, but at least there's a a couple weeks of pure beauty that comes from it all.
