If rocks and grasses could talk, I wonder what they would tell us about this little tree.

Last Bloom
Konza Prairie is full of wildflowers in spring and summer, but yesterday, this thistle was the only bloom I saw.
However, there was plenty of promise for abundant flowers next year!
Wishing you a beautiful day!

Relax
This week’s photo challenge is to post an image that is relaxing. This is a photo that I took on a hike through the woods back home. For many of us who grew up near forests, there is something very relaxing about being amongst trees. Living in the midwestern U.S., now, it is always a little strange to me when I hear someone comment about hating being someplace with too many trees.
For more on the relax challenge.
In-tree-guing
Out on the prairie the other day, I came across this unusual tree. Doesn’t it look like there should be a interesting story to go along with it?
Wishing you well…
