The last three percent of untouched Tallgrass Prairie left in North America is in the Flint Hills of Kansas and the Osage Hills in Extreme Northern Oklahoma. The Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie is clearly the last significant expanse of a unique prairie ecosystem and it needs to be protected and preserved for future generations.
The Flint Hills, in the eastern part of the state, fan out over 183 miles from north to south, stretching 30 to 40 miles wide in parts, the land folding into itself, then popping up in gentle bumps, with mounds looming far off on the horizon. Seemingly endless,
the landscape offers up isolated images — a wind-whipped cottonwood tree, a rusted cattle pen, a spindly windmill, an abandoned limestone schoolhouse, the metal-gated entrance to a hilltop cemetery.The hills are named after another native stone, flintlike chert that Indians used to make tools. Many artifacts have been found at area quarries.
The Flint Hills in Kansas and in Oklahoma are North America’s
largest remaining tract of tallgrass prairie. The preserve is at its
full glory in late spring, when yellow, white, purple and blue wildflowers
pop up amid a sea of green grass. The grass is tallest, about waist
high in the fall.

Meet "Flint," a wayward Caribbean Flamingo that was likely blown from the Yucatan Peninsula to the U.S. by hurricane Idalia. This bird was previously sighted in Ohio and Missouri before settling in for a few days at Chase State Fishing Lake near Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, USA. September 30, 2023.
Playing with Black and White - well not quite - of a Black and white dog (also, not quite - Flint's a tricolor)
watercolor - sketch - all painted with a fairly large no. 12 round brush. I like the purple hill in the distance. I like this representation of the flint hills that seem to go forever with very sparse foliage.
Buildings along Saginaw Street in downtown Flint, Michigan. The street was torn up and undergoing repairs when I took this. The building in the center at 647 Saginaw Street is home to Paul's Pipe Shop, which has been in business since 1928.

North Hampshire is part of the Southern England chalk formation. Flint is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline form of the mineral quartz, found in chalk and limestone.
This is a view of the disused Flint signal box shortly before it was demolished. Flint box saw little use and was only retained to work a trailing crossover. This had been removed during relaying operations two years earlier and the signal box was then redundant. It is seen here being passed by 20069 and 095 on an up ballast working from Penmaenmawr on the 22nd of March 1990.
On a very wet day in October 1980 a colleague and I were tasked with testing some Chester depot routes that had low bridges as to the suitability of using the ex-Southdown Daimler Fleetlines.
Having successfully made our way to Flint depot we posed this photo. Unfortunately it's not the best shot and I can't find a note of the vehicles. However it is an ex-North Western Fleetline, ex-Southdown Fleetline TCD383J, an ex-Bristol OC FLF and a Crosville FLF

In the heart of the Flint Hills, you can gaze upon the distant small town of Madison, Kansas from Texaco Hill.
Every time I walk along this bit of the coast path there seems to be a new bit of art. This time it is the "Castellum Supra Fluvium" plaque which as any Latin O-Level types will know translates as Castle Above The River.
Visit to downtown Flint, Michigan on August 5, 2014 with my flickr contact Rogerio Machado who was visiting Michigan from his home in Brazil. This fairly well-preserved ghost sign is on a commercial building along Saginaw Street, Flint's main thoroughfare.
