SUNFLOWERS IN BLOOM AT MIDDLETON WI CONSERVANCY

 

An article in the Milwaukee Journal alerted Wisconsinites that there was a field of sunflowers in bloom near Middleton WI. On August 6 we gladly joined Dale and Mary Graves check it out. When we arrived, men were on hand to direct the visitors to parking lots. We had to go to the overflow lot. Mary and I walked the long way up to the field. Once there we saw where senior citizens were allowed to drive close to the field and so all of us could ride up there in the car.

Mary Graves is at the right taking advantage of the better camera station.

Trees and an ancient stone fence provided a nice spot for spectators to rest and picnic.
