Nature photography can portray a sense of calm, beauty, regeneration. One beautiful moment in time captured for reflection during a hectic day. A pause, stillness, a gift of lingering a while before moving on to difficult matters.

 

Prairie photography captures a slice of the smallest remnant of what once covered the entire United States. Various types of prairie ecosystems, now reduced to less than three percent of our lands. A cow pasture is not a prairies. Golf courses are not prairies. Urban weed lots are not prairies. A prairie photograph is a gift of America's rarest life form. To be able to view it is to see it as it was only once. The following day, the following year, it would resemble it but be changed by time.
