Small Prairie Burn yesterday. Perfect conditions - sunny with a light wind in the proper direction. This hillside will be green with new plants soon, from the nutrients the burned biomass leaves behind.
Taken in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, USA. I never thought I could get tired of prairie dogs, but after passing through three large prairie dog towns back to back, I was tired of listening to them. They are all hiding in this picture.

Prairie smoke is a common name for several plants and may refer to: Geum triflorum (also called Three-Flowered Avens, Old Man's Whiskers), a spring perennial prairie wild flower. Pulsatilla patens (also called Anemone patens), in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae.
Prairie dogs often touch noses with family members as they come and go in the area around their burrow.

By popular demand, the somewhat convoluted approach into the Prairie Creek mine site near the NWT/Yukon border.
Prairie Berry offers free wine tastings everyday (five one ounce samples). They also have a place to buy their products and order food. Highly recommended if you are in the Black Hills--only a few miles from Mount Rushmore. My favorite wine was also their most award-winning--the Red Ass Rhubarb.

A representative soil profile of Truce fine sandy loam. This soil is underlain by shale at a depth of about 110 centimeters. (Soil Survey of Jack County, Texas; by Wilfred E. Crenwelge, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Truce series consists of soils that are deep over claystone bedrock. These well drained, slowly permeable soils formed in loamy colluvium and/or slope alluvium over clayey residuum derived from claystone of Pennsylvanian age. These soils are on gently sloping to steep, convex ridges. Slopes are typically 1 to 5 percent, but range from 1 to 40 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 813 mm (32 in) and the mean annual air temperature is about 18.3 degrees C (65 degrees F).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, active, thermic Udic Paleustalfs
Soil Moisture: Udic-ustic soil moisture regime
Depth to densic bedrock: 102 to 152 cm (40 to 60 in)
Surface Fragments: 0 to 20 percent; cobbles and stones of ironstone and sandstone.
Particle-size control section (weighted average)
Clay content: 35 to 55 percent
USE AND VEGETATION: Mostly used as rangeland. A few small areas are cropped to small grains and sorghums. Climax vegetation is an open post oak savannah with tall and mid grasses such as indiangrass, big and little bluestem, and sideoats grama. Most areas contain other woody plants such as blackjack oak and elm with invading mesquite, cedar, and lotebush. Present herbaceous vegetation consists mainly of sideoats grama, Texas needlegrass, hairy grama, threeawns, sand dropseed, and other low producing perennials and annuals with western ragweed, Engelmann-daisy, bundleflower, prairie clover, primrose, and gayfeather.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Texas North Central Prairies (MLRA 80B) and West Cross Timbers of Texas. The series is extensive.

I really liked the shape and blue glass of this building which I took to be a former church. However, I found out from its website that Prairie Vinyard is still a church and an interesting and unconventional one at that.
Here are quotes from its website (link below):
"There is no set dress code and people dress pretty casual wearing whatever is comfortable for them."
"Worship
For the first ½ hour to 35 minutes we usually worship God with music and physical expression. There is room at the front and rear of the building for dance or other expressions, so feel free to enter in."
" Coffee Break
Soon after worship, we usually take about 10 minutes and have a coffee break together. This is a good time to meet people and catch up with friends."
"Teaching Time
There is about a ½ hour of teaching and sometimes other stuff, like what God has been doing in people's lives, communion, maybe even more worship."

THis is wild at Somme prairie. My favorite prairie grass. I was able to find some at a garden shop and they do great with no care and do not go nuts spreading.
Paynes Prairie... one of my favorite spots on earth. A nice way to follow the Public Interest Environmental Conference and remember why we are fighting for the environment... also fun because we rode bikes!
NEIL YOUNG - "Prairie Wind"
Trying to remember what my daddy said
Before too much time took away his head
He said we're going back and I'll show you what I'm talking about
Going back to Cypress River, back to the old farmhouse
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
(Trying to remember what Daddy said)
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
I tried to tell the people but they never heard a word I say
They say there's nothing out there but wheat fields anyway
Just a farmer's wife hanging laundry in her back yard
Out on the prairie where the winds blow long and hard
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
(Trying to remember what Daddy said)
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
Late at night, lights dancing in the northern sky
Like the Indian spirits trying to show me how to fly
You can see into the future but it may be a mirage
Like a new car sitting there in your old garage
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
(Trying to remember what Daddy said)
There's a place on the prairie where evil and goodness play
Daddy told me all about it but I don't remember what he said
It might be afternoon and it might be the dead of night
But you'll know when you see it 'cause it sure is a hell of a sight
