Roy Rogers always ended his show back in the 50s with this song.
i took a happy trail yesterday. across the road from the sweetcorn stand is the state park. i hadn't visited it in quite some time. for the last few years it seems it has been flooded more oft than not. the park was once a sand quarry and the pits watered in to create a number of lakes. yesterday i opted for Sand Prairie trail. in years past i used it as my cool-down after a run on the longer trails around the lakes. i spent much more time there than i had planned. it was just beautiful. i took more than 150 shots of the praire flowers, birds, land and waterscapes. this morning it was just as rewarding reviewing the fotos - but way too hard to pick which to share. so i will leave you with this shot. the rest of them are just over that little rise......
gigi, we walk into that which we cannot see...
ReplyDeleteI love 'seeing' your world daily thru your posts and pics: canoeing the stream, or strolling the paths you take over the landscape. your pictures and messages are so re-assuring. they touch me deeply. how did you find such wisdom and calm? wish I was there....

ReplyDeletelarkspur - This might remain a mystery (and don't we all love a good mystery)? My "Missouri Wildflowers" book states ..."Flowers open in the morning and close by noon when the sun shines".
ReplyDeleteA great site is Missouriplants.com. click "all the plants on this site", scroll down to Tragopogon dubius and click. Much info and great pictures. Wikipedia also has a wealth of info, but the answer remains "just because".
larkspur - forgot to add that my spiderwort does the same.
ReplyDeleteanonymous - Wow! thanx, i never know if i am posting for me or someone else out there - maybe you.
i feel like the web is an ocean and i keep casting my "message in a bottle" into it. keep strolling these beaches and be sure to investigate any bottles you might find.
gigi--Pink Floyd sings, 'wish you were here' and I always sing back, 'wish I was there'.
ReplyDeleteKeep casting your message bottle. I will always find it...
