A few weeks ago Mr. A and I took a quick field trip to a local sunflower festival. How fantastic! It was literally less than 20 minutes from home, which makes it a perfect daytime trip. Essentially, the entire 'festival' is fields of sunflowers! There were a few vendors and some local music (for a while they were playing Christian songs like 'When the Saints Go Marching In'...) to add to the festivities.
A couple of the fields had added attractions, like mazes, a gigantic model of a rhino, or a photo stand where someone could take a picture of you standing in the sunflower field while they stood about four feet above you in the stand.
Okinawa apparently has tons of flower festivals! Thus far I think I've missed the cherry blossom festival and the orchid festival (I know, how is that even possible for me to miss???), and upcoming is the lily festival. I'm hoping to make it up to see some cherry blossoms or orchids later this week, so we'll see how busy I get!
I hope the rest of you get out to explore the spring flowers as spring comes your way!
