Sunflowers in full boom over in Japan!
Nearly 85,000 sunflowers at the 8,800 square-meter-field at Yamanashi Prefecture city of Hokuto will be blooming until early August at Yamanashi Prefecture city of Hokuto.
Anywhere near your house that has such pretty sights? Sadly, I don’t even have any flowers blooming here :(, only trees. LOL. I like to stand in the sunflower field at least once and run through it XD.
Totally random, but talking about running through the sunflower field reminded me of this – CLANNAD OP. LOL.
