Prairie is a difficult landscape to photograph in many ways because it's vast and pretty empty. Usually what you see is "off in the distance" and you're surrounded by grassland, as is the case here. This is from the archives from May of 2020, a few months into the pandemic. This area is under the flight path of Denver International Airport and it can be noisy at times. There were very few planes flying then, which was wonderful. You could hear the Meadowlarks and other birds very clearly. There's a lot of life in this landscape, believe it or not. The landscape itself can become interesting with the play of light as clouds roll through.
Had to look this one up as first time notice a seagull with a tufted head. It is a tern seagull.
From last fall in the Frank Slide area.

I actually like the open range quite a bit (lived in Kansas for many years). It can get a bit much at times because the wind pretty much never quits, but you get the best skies in the open country. It kinda becomes the subject matter. It’s no wonder many astronauts have come from the Great Plains states. You spend a lot of time looking up!
The macro lens is very helpful for window frost.
I like it a lot too. I grew up in SE Georgia near the coast and you got big sky looking out to sea but inland (Savannah) it was hard to see the sky for the trees. My mother from Savannah or my work colleagues from Philly get rather nervous around all the open sky when they visit.
Similarly, I feel more claustrophobic when I visit them.
edit: those pointy buggers are sharper than any hypodermic needle I've ever felt.

That’s awesome. You are going to love it. It gives you an amazing view of downtown San Diego and the bay. Make sure you drive slow. Also, it looks very pretty at night. The reflection of the street lights is just amazing. Stay tuned I’ll post a night shot tomorrow for ya
Not much makes me as happy as seeing young lambs in the sunshine!

Nice picture. Innocence is written all over it. So adorable. What’s the meaning behind the tagged numbers? Is that for tracking purposes?
i grew up in western pennsylvania farmland. we had rolling hills but wide vast skies that i miss so much. i live in an area with way too many trees for my liking. i crave the open.I like it a lot too.

Similarly, I feel more claustrophobic when I visit them. i totally relate to the claustrophobia.
Its the cooking instructions!
I believe its so they can keep track of them for their records etc.

Cheers. This is the Purple Blood Stout I'm drinking right now. 11% so just a third. Edit: Oops, Android and Chrome are struggling to attach an image!

Been across this one a few times. I always think of the scene from Anchorman when I see it now.
I thought the numbers were to help falling asleep...Its the cooking instructions!
