Prairie Home

I finally had the opportunity to return to a faraway favorite of mine and was pleased to see it still standing. Three and a half hours away from home. I was a little disappointed to see the pasture was already mowed, but the clouds present made up for it. I only had 20 minutes to shoot and this image made the cut due to a dark cloud overhead creating a natural vignetting in the field.

Rising only inches from the ground this tiny Texas wildflower lends color to the Austin area landscape

I've never been able to get a satisfactory image of this little prairie wildflower. They bounce around in the slightest of breezes. Today, it was totally still on the Holland Sand Prairie.

The textures and colors of the prairie grasses in this part of the country are particularly interesting this time of year.

This is a view I have photographed often but have never posted. It seems I just can't do it justice.

On this day the formations in the distance were highlighted by the clouds which perhaps helped to balance the view.

Long - long way away - heavy crop hence noisy - and iso 6400

I only have to drive about 5 minutes out of the city to find this nice open prairie.

Prairie Falcon

Weld County, Colorado

This one is one of my favorites from the trip.

We enjoyed a beautiful morning on the The Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, in Osage County, OK. The grass was beginning to come up where the resent burns had been done. There were some new born calves in the groups. Expect to see more in the coming weeks. More info at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallgrass_Prairie_Preserve

View On Black for a better view large !!

This another shot of the old prairie granaries that so often dot the farming landscape across the prairies. As with the first image here this was taken during terrible weather conditions a couple of days ago on the drive to Drumheller from Calgary.

A shot of some of the flooding on the Sumas Prairie that occurred after we were hit with an "atmospheric river" of steady rain from Saturday to Monday. Abbotsford, B.C. Those are poultry barns and thousands of chickens and cattle are at risk from the flooding. So far all humans are safe.
