Love and sunflowers

My friend Doug sent a belated comment on the sunflower fields on Route 1 at Longwood Gardens, but it's so poetic that I'm going to share it anyway:
"The beauty of the flowers was obviously apparent, but so was the love and kindness of the people stopping to view them! I saw elderly couples holding hands and many others, all helping one another navigate the uneven ground. There were moms and dads holding their children close as they walked among the blooms, young adults jumping up between the flowers catching the evening light while a friend captured an action photo.
And there were those just standing close, shoulder to shoulder or face to face, admiring the beauty of the sunflowers or each other.
It was a pleasure driving by the field each evening."
