Lone Pine Road~Sunday Stills Challenge~091811

We stopped in Lone Pine early yesterday morning after staying in Ridgecrest overnight and drove out along our favorite road there, Lubeken Road.  It's right next to a trailer park and heads up toward the Sierra and isn't traveled much.  In fact, there's a huge cattle ranch there and we sometimes see the cattle either on the road or alongside it.  But, yesterday, they were all in a pasture out yonder.  And, we had the road all to ourselves!  We were surprised to see the meadow there and the roadside FULL of wild sunflowers.  I don't know the name of these sunflowers, but we have them down in the desert, too.  There were EVERYWHERE!!! Sunday Stills Challenge for September 18, 2011.

Those are gorgeous shots and that second one just speaks to me. If I could paint, I'd put that on canvas!
