Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, near Strong City, Kansas |

The landscape and the
"humanscape." Sometimes, too infrequently, we protect what once was, albeit with our own peculiar artifacts suspended in time as well.
That was somehow a very special and unexpectedly wonderful morning. As we approached the Preserve the fog was fairly intense and depressing, and seemed to foredoom us to a limited experience. While we waited outside for opening, and in our first few moments there it lifted -- gloriously lifted, exposing for us the seemingly limitless prairie.
The
monarch butterflies were migrating just then. As they say, "you had to be there." |
