Getting Greener!
I have a hard time staying out of the Flint Hills as spring creeps in here in Kansas. It will be a little longer before our wildflowers appear. This shot (Saturday) is from the heart of the Flint Hills about 2 weeks after a spring burn. It really shows where the name comes. Soon the hills will covered in lush green carpet on it's way to taller Prairie and Indian grass's trying as it may to cover up the presence of limestone and flint.

Brad a very cool shot. The curve of the road and the hills if very neat. This image doesn't need to be green to be good.

Great composition with the winding road, Brad. This should be a beautiful prairie-scape this summer after the burn.

I really like this one Brad. This view is much better than the only other one I have ever had from the Turnpike. I guess I need to stop there and explore sometime. I bet it does look great with the flowers blooming.

Nice composition, and you've done a good job of documenting that location at this time of year. I look forward to seeing more of your shots from there.
