What I believe to be a Plains Clubtail dragonfly from back in late May at Mill Pond. A new one for my Mill Pond odonata images.
Downstream from Hot Springs NC, the French Broad River spread across the low plains. Debris from the town scattered through the trees and remains six months after Hurricane Helene.
This afternoon, the eastbound Mountaineer nears the east switch at Plain as it hurries toward Denver. Plain is a siding and a small MofW base in the settlement of Plainview, Colorado, about 24 rail miles west of the Mile-High City. Plainview is where the plains end and the mountains begin. From here, one has a plain view of the plains. Photo by Joe McMillan, September 12, 2023, at 5:05 p.m.

The Plains Lubber is an attractive grasshopper when encountered on the open prairie. Not the hopper with the greatest maximum length but certainly the heaviest.
A similar shot to a B&W image that I posted a while ago which I thought would look ok in colour.

It’s an end to a great second day on the Montana Rail Link, unfortunately my father and I ended up in Paradise after following the 10th Sub and eventually Plains in hopes of finding the gas train, we were unsuccessful. After much despair, I decided to take some shots of the Northern Pacific Searchlight Cantilever’s, all is calm as we’re looking east towards the Flathead River Valley on the MRL 4th Sub. The looming BNSF takeover at this time was only under a week away, something that still hurts to hear about of our beloved Montana Rail Link. Taken: 12-23-23
The largest of the skink species in Arizona, Great Plains Skinks (Plestiodon obsoletus) are found in a variety of habitats from middle to high elevation often associated with creeks, rivers, and other water features. These lizards are often very hard to observe as they spend much of their time beneath surface cover or underground. This is a large male individual that was found in Central Arizona within the Great Basin Conifer Woodland.
The open plains of eastern Colorado are intensified by the cloudless sky. Such feelings of abandonment prevail in the area on days like this when it seems that man and nature alike, have fled.
I am rather hesitant in posting this considering that there is so much drought in Australia, yet there are pockets that have received enough rain to hopefully give a return at Harvest time. May the rains come to those drought areas is our continued hope and prayer.
