What A Beautiful Mess I'm In ...


There is no better feeling than screaming down the highway and seeing something that takes your breath away. For me, it's a must stop situation. This happens to me often here on The Prairie. It's a rare occasion for me to ignore the call to capture a scene that may only last a moment or so.

This week it was a field of Sunflowers, under a wavy gravy sky west of Clark, South Dakota. And one lone Sunflower spoke to us all.

At Sky Watch Friday the Earth is calling to you from every corner.

  5. Those are beautiful scenes and shots. I'd love to come across something like this...a prairie and sunflowers enjoying their final days - it's simply divine landscape, but can't be found around here in suburbia! Thanks for letting me look!

  9. I have the same problem. My brakes tend to get a fair bit of exercise when travelling, so does my camera.
    Lovely shots, I'm so glad you stopped. Love your shot from last week too. Don't know how I came to miss it.

  10. Glad you stopped... great photos. I have that constant nagging feeling to stop for photos now too. Generally, taking the time to stop is well worth it!

  15. Laurie...I love the way you process your photos. These are awesome...so beautiful. I am so glad I found your blog. I am #36 in her crazy old overalls in the middle of the creek with my camera. It is going to be great fun following someone from prairie land. That will be a first for me. genie
