Flint Hill Slopes
The Flint Hills, standing guard over the prairie, opening her arms for all who care to visit and capture a glimpse. Beging to share what lands of yesterday where like, and showing us what lands of tomorrow should be.
Moonlight Lake
The brisk winter mornings are an exciting time to venture out into nature. Crisp clean air, the colors of the winters skies and the promise of full moon slowly descending into the western horizon all make for great opportunities for those who care to enjoy.
Winter Gold
Textures, detail and color all combine with the glowing sunset to help make such scenes possible. Standing before the glowing ice makes taking a picture seem so inappropriate. Experience in person is the only way to see what was really there.
Early Spring In The Hills
Seasonal change, one of the most magical of times in the Flint Hills and Tallgrass Prairie.
Evening Winter Prairie
Sunset on the prairie nestled in the Flinthills. As the sun slowly dropped over the horizon the eastern sky benefited from the low light coloring the clouds over snow covered rolling tallgrass hills.
Cottonwood Ice
A small area of standing cottonwoods in shallow water provided this early winter frozen treat. Time spent slowly exploring the small intimate scenes produced this composition.
Winter Sundown, Flint Hills
Spending time watching the daylight slide away is one of the true pleasure of being alive. The time to relax, to unwind and let your thoughts slowly slip into the land of dreams.

The ones that make a person glad they get to experience the seasons fully. I believe it has a wonderful holiday feel to tie into a December theme. I’m... [Read more of this review]
~ Honey Locust ~ This months print I consider one of my unique finds of the fall. This beautiful Honey Locust stood out among the glorious autumn trees as a true winner in color and form.
