A prime example of what prairie pothole wetlands look like from the air. This is taken in the spring before the new grass has greened up, so most of the surrounding prairie is still brown from the winter. After a few warmer days and some good rainfall, this scene will be lush with new growth!

Prairie Iris (a.k.a. Savanna Iris, Dixie Iris; Iris savannarum previously known as Iris hexagona) - Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area, 3365 Taylor Creek Rd, Christmas, Florida

On this set, the Prairie wall system exemplifies yet another statement of our philosophy that you should be able to create your own furniture. This configuration delivers the ultimate in home entertainment configuration and comfort, while classic lines and sobriety are embodied by the Prairie Sofa and sideboard, and the matching side tables.
According to objective criteria for the valuation of different kinds of landscapes in terms of their visual merits, the prairie has no visual merits. What evidently characterizes the prairie is the absence of things. ~ Kraft von Maltzahn, Nature as Landscape, 116 (paraphrasing and extending a discussion of "Beauty and Nothingness," by Neil Evernden).

Prairie dogs have a complex system of calls and displays which appear to function as a kind of language. This prairie dog is performing a "jump-yip" display, but no one's exactly sure what it means. We do know that it seems to be contagious, and when one prairie dog does a "jump-yip", all its neighbors join in.

Prairie dogs (Cynomys) are burrowing rodents (not actually dogs) native to the grasslands of North America. There are five different species of prairie dogs: black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison, Utah, and Mexican prairie dogs. They are a type of ground squirrel. On average, these stout-bodied rodents will grow to be between 30–40 centimetres (12–16 in) long, including the short tail and weigh between 0.5–1.5 kilograms (1–3 lb). They are found in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In Mexico, prairie dogs are primarily found in the northern states which are the southern end of the great plains: northeastern Sonora, north and northeastern Chihuahua, northern Coahuila, northern Nuevo León, and northern Tamaulipas; in the U.S., they range primarily west of the Mississippi River, though they have also been introduced in a few eastern locales. They will eat all sorts of vegetables and fruits.

Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.
Conner Prairie celebrated inquisitive spirits during Curiosity Fair. This festival of wonder and exploration encouraged kids (and kids at heart) to play, create and investigate the mysteries of the world around them. Through a series of interactive exhibits, soaring demonstrations, hands-on experiments and electrifying activities, guests were encouraged to look at their surroundings differently and ask questions. It was a weekend of mind-blowing fun!

At least one of the prairie dogs in the colony was interested in what I was doing. Hooray for curiosity.
All of these pictures were taken at the Promised Land Zoo in Branson, Missouri. This is a great little zoo to fill up an afternoon or a morning with in Branson.
(Flickr friends, I am attempting to correlate my images with the current date by posting four images each day. Take a moment and look at all four, if you can, please.)
