This is Prairie Cactus growing among mosses and lichens on some of the oldest exposed bedrock in the world along the Minnesota River near Redwood Falls, Minnesota.
The first time we came here, my great nephew had climbed up on this rocky bluff to relieve himself in the woods, and he yelled down to us "Hey, there's cactus growing up here!" to which we replied "Yeah right". Convinced that it had to be something else, we went up there to check it out and sure enough, there it was!

Here you go! Prairie dog, in costume.
The worst part wasn't the costume really. It was the fact that this poor guy had to stand with another similarly dressed prairie dog and not move. They were the "net" line for a family's volleyball game.
This was in the park in front of Himeji Castle.

In the late 1800s, the dry prairie surrounding the Myakka River was well stocked with grasses, palmetto and other low shrubs. This provided forage for cattle for decades until early 1910s, Mrs. Bertha Palmer acquired this land to develop her Meadow Sweet Pastures. When she passed away, in 1918, the first mayor of Sarasota had a vision that this land should become a preserved natural area. The Palmer Estate donated a large acreage to the state in her memory. During the Great Depression, the state of Florida was able to acquire additional land. About this same time, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), one of many federal relief agencies established during the Depression as part of the New Deal program, was brought in to build roads, bridges and cabins, along with digging drainage ditches and cutting trees and underbrush, in order to make the area available for visitors.
The Myakka River State Park was officially dedicated on Feb. 18, 1941, and opened to the public in June 1942.

This is the first of a shoot I did out on Prairie Rd. (Sugar Grove) in the Fall/2005 since this beautiful scene may not be around much longer. I'll try to post more of these as I get a chance to go through them. I really like this shot but the lens flare is rather distracting. Any thoughts?
Prairie Hill Baptist Church members built a sanctuary here in 1890 on 3 acres donated by J. R. and Medora Leathers. A portion of the acreage near the sanctuary was set aside in 1894 to established this community cemetery. The first recorded burial was that of Eula Jane Howard on June 29, 1894. The Prairie Hill Cemetery Association, established in 1958 and chartered in 1975, maintains the cemetery which has been enlarged over the years. Interred here are area pioneer settlers and their descendants, and veterans of conflicts ranging from the Civil War to Vietnam. (1994) (Marker No. 4108)
