Goodbye, Sunflower Fields
Personal memory by Jean-Christophe Lachance
2009 • Moose Jaw, SK, Canada
When I was very young, we had a humongous field in front of our house. There were tall, beautiful sunflowers and luscious tall grass. Unfortunately, it was all razed for the construction of more houses. There were more sunflowers behind the house, but although that area was turned in a park, the sunflowers have died out.
