A walk on the wild side

Though retail is king in the 'burbs, there are still some green spaces to be found. I love driving around town this time of year and seeing a small patch of wheat ripening, or the occasional field of corn.

Wildflowers are catching my eye right now. A small plot of land just a few blocks from my home is overflowing with sweet blooms in charming shapes and colors.

It's amazing what variety can be found in a humble field. Most of these were hidden from view until I began walking through the tall grass--reminding me that exploring on foot is well worth the time spent. I wonder how much beauty we pass by in our hurried, busy lives?
