Directions:

• Follow the path next to the sunflowers. Out and back.

Out for a hot afternoon to see the sunflowers at the Biltmore estate. This is the first time we've seen them. We tried a couple of times before. but they were harvested before we got there. In one direction, you see all of the backs of the flowers, and in the other direction, you see all of the fronts of the flowers. Beautiful.

It was really hot with very little shade - I didn't want Krumm to overheat, so we stopped after viewing the sunflowers, and Glen continued to walk more.

This deer was eating the tops off the sunflowers.
