This is My World - in the summertime. These flowers grow in the highway medians. Add that to the rolling hills. It's a beautiful, beautiful area (check the writings of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.)

Oh my what a lovely sight that must be when you drive in the highway and the median is full of blooming beauties.
See you next week.
Cosmos are such happy flowers!
How wonderful to be down there at a flower's-eye view!! It makes the photo even more special.
They're lovely; I wouldn't mind driving anywhere with them on the roadside. thank you for sharing!
I have never seen so many Cosmos in one place. They are, if not my favorite wildflower, very close to my favorite. I plant a patch of them each year because they enchant me so much. What an incredible thing to put in the medians!
Beautiful flowers.
Beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers!

Hills full with these flowers? Gorgeous! We grow them in the garden here! My mother is so fond of them, and they ARE lovely!
Thank you for sharing!
A composition ripe for painting or quilting! I love cosmos wildflowers, many municipalities around me plant wildflowers in the medians! A great idea! Going to your "my world" link to see more!
How beautiful Helen.
You are very fortunate to live in that area.
Helen: The flowers in the median must make your highways look really beautiful
Glorious, Helen, just glorious! Love what Virginia and North Carolina do with their highway medians. So lovely!
Beautiful!Any time anyone replaces gress with colorful flowers,that's great.
I bet it is beautiful to see that in the medians...
Oh my goodness - I used to live in Virginia and I think I may have been in your store! I remember those flowers in the highway medians quite well.
wow...that would making driving a busy highway very enjoyable! Really beautiful and a wonderful touch of summer before the winter winds get us down :-)
Beautiful Helen... I love seeing the wildflowers along the roads (interstate highways) in the summer. It helps make those boring drives more interesting!!!! When I lived in Texas, we'd drive to the hill country (near Brenham) to see the Blue Bonnets and Indian Paintbrush in bloom. Talk about beauty!!!
How stunning and I love the free form they create
Thank you for the wonderful tour. This 2nd week of meme really makes us appreciate the many places that we don't usually see or ever had a chance to visit like the one you showed me in this post. Hope you get to have time to check my world too. Another great job and more to come in the coming weeks.
Helen, that is a stunning photo of massed Cosmos. More, more you hear me cry!
What a stunning image. It's hard to believe that's a highway median. Very uplifting.
Your roads are beautiful, cosmos are one of my favorites!!
I love seeing fields of wildflowers along the highway. Such a treat, and these are beautiful!
Oh beautiful flowers....THanks for sharing...
MIne is here
Wow, what a wonderful sight to see while you're driving.
That must really be quite a sight driving down the road... Thanks for showing us your world...
I would love to sit in the middle of all those beautiful flowers!
That is a beautiful sight. I wish our Illinois highway departments would plant wildflowers. Sigh

Absolutely stunning! I can't imagine driving down the interstate and seeing these all over. What a beautiful state it must be! Perfect representation for "My World"
Oh my! That is a sight to behold!
Cheers, Klaus
That would be so much nicer than driving down the road and seeing just no color or just grass! I have seen this in NJ and it's just beautiful and inviting. Makes driving a little easier on a trip.
And all in a highway median. There's nothing more pleasant than driving along a scenic highway. Great photo.
I love your Cosmos. they are one of my favorite flowers!
What beauty along the road side. I would have a hard time keeping my eyes on the road!
Perfect carpet! Bye and greetings from Croatia
Yes, so beautiful. I love it when I'm on a highway that's got wildflowers growing in the medians...such a nice way to liven up the drive!
Absolutely beautiful! This is when I like wild flowers best. Also, I wouldn't have been surprised to see Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow and TinMan entering this picture.
:-)
Beautiful photo!
Thanks for sharing your world!!
Take care
What a breath-taking shot!
I have enjoyed your beautiful highway medians a few times. You have captured it well.
I wanted to photograph some cosmos in the median a couple of weeks ago--they were gorgeous! But alas we had a frost since then and when I went back they were a little weary-looking. Too late. Ah, but your photo is great! I enjoyed it!
