AH! SUN-FLOWER

Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun:
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers journey is done. 

                   - William Blake, 1794

The Columbia Bottom Conservation Area is a preserve in far north St. Louis County along the Missouri River. All summer long the state agency that manages it plants acres of sunflowers in staggered groups so some area is in its glory throughout the season. Mrs. C and I took a drive up to view the spectacle yesterday.
