Roadside Beauty

Who doesn't love this time of year? The season is changing and the colors of the fall season become vibrant! Flaming oranges, purples, golds and red begin to blanket the landscape.

I was fortunate to take a wrong turn toward my camping destination. Well, not so much a wrong turn...it was Google's fault, I later discovered. What I discovered drive me to pull to the side of the road and stand along a property line so that I may view this blanket of beauty!
If you want to experience this beautiful site:
  • Take 75 north to exit 306, GA 140.
  • Turn left and head about 2 miles
  • Turn Right onto GA-3/Joe Frank Harris Parkway
  • Travel about 2 miles until you see Miller Ferry Road on your left.

It appears to be a sunflower farm in full bloom!

I have seen these flowers several times en route to Kennesaw State University. I started taking GA-3 all the way from Dalton to Kennesaw during the gas crisis a few weeks ago and I was always pleased to see how beautiful these sunflowers are. Across the street from them are some kind of purple wildflowers which are also beautiful. The color contrast is quite lovely.
