Prairie Dock -- Silphium terebinthinaceum
In my backyard prairie/meadow. Indianapolis, Indiana.
Those of you who have followed me for some time know that I have a ‘thing’ for the thick, gritty leaves of prairie dock, especially in the fall when they dry out, darken, and contort into interesting shapes with much texture, topography, and character. Well, I couldn’t resist taking the camera out a few times this fall to see what I could come up with once again to try to satisfy my ‘thing’ with this plant. I’ve pretty much concluded that as long as I can get down low and push the shutter on the camera, I’ll continue to stalk this plant again and again.
