Kansas!
I've lived here all my life.
I've lived here all my life.
Kansas!
Beautiful prairies
And wide open places
Kansas!
Where the night sky puts on a show
Kansas!
I can't imagine living anywhere else.
This photo was taken on the Tallgrass Prairie, one of the few stands of tallgrass prairie grasses left.
We were treated to a lovely symphony followed by a cattle drive, and lastly the sunset a huge ball of fire, mother natures gift.
Sadly these prairies are being bough up for other uses.
It sounds like it was an amazing event, with horses, music, lovely views and fantastic sunsets.
ReplyDeleteI lived in kansas when I was in 3rd & 4th grade and loved it.
I feel the passion for your homeland in this. What a fun experience to travel in these covered wagons. It must be humbling to think that this is how our ancestors moved about and made their mark. Thank you for joining in the 30 Words Challenge! Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to visit!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible experience that must have been! It's sad that so many our wide open spaces are disappearing.

This was a great event and wonderful way to spend a Kansas evening!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I've always wanted to ride in a covered wagon! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing place! I loved your words and your picture. I was a huge fan of Little House on the Prairie - this is so reminiscent of a wonderful time and period. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Alice. Beautiful words and wistfulness. I hope this bit of prairie can be protected.
