Restored prairie

Walking through the restored prairie section of the Sugar Grove Nature Center I could not help but wonder what those who came out of the trees of the eastern forest into the "sea of grass" felt.  Just for a moment.

Interesting thought John, and this photo illustrates why that would be appealing to do.

Hey John,
Lovely detail and colors, the vertical composition works nicely for this composition. Glad to see the recovery of this area is going well.
The 'Sea of Grass' that was the great plains in the pioneer days had to have been an amazing sight and would make a first time visitor wonder, "Is it ever going to end !"

Congratulations on the WP . . .  devil
