The question is always asked by the curious travelers who
have crossed the Plains at Interstate speeds, “How can you live here without the
mountains, the ocean, the woods?” But what they are really speaking to is their
desire to “get it” right away. The sublime of this place that we call the
prairie is one of patience and looking.

Prairie

A fallow field of prairie grasses and black-eyed susans   joyous and solemn events    silhouetted against the morning sky Click here to travel around the world on Our World Tuesday http://ourworldtuesdaymeme.blogspot.com/  |
Those black eye susans are a real splash of colour in those wide open spaces. There is a lot of sky in your world.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteDelightful sequence of shots.
ReplyDeleteWe all have our own journey and challenges. Love your prairie flowers and the landscape is much like ours with small towns in the wheat growing district.
ReplyDeleteThat lovely old stove I have cooked upon but unfortunately it is not mine. It resides at the shearer's quarters in a large sheep station in our desert county where we love to spend time. Unfortunately it is a two full day's drive away.
Lovely photography! Nice post.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote about the travelers...this looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, even a flat landscape can be nice !
ReplyDeleteWe flew over the Canadian prairies last week on our way to Calgary.
ReplyDeleteI like all parts of our amazing countries.
Lovely photos! You live in such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI so love black eyed susans.. we have them blooming along our road just now and picked a handful yesterday for both my husband's grandmother and our dear neighbor who is 94 years old.
ReplyDeleteI grew up visiting family down in northern Iowa in the summers, and always loved to watch the corn grow, and weigh our cars on the local elevator scales at night. Your photos bring back nostalgia!
Ahhhh... I like that. People used to ask us that all the time when we lived in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteYou have made this place sound beautiful. Love your words and photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of your world!
