Renewal in the Flint Hills

Drove through the Flint Hills today.

They were burning.

It is one of my favorite times of the year.

The fires burn off the dead grass and scrub trees

and the hills are renewed within a few days.

Miles and miles of new green grass.

Beautiful.

The Lord's yearly creation is a wonderful thing.

Not sure the pictures out my car window

do it justice.

Cheers.

Pages and Feathers

A couple of older pictures today.

Didn't get a chance to get out and shoot.

The girl was home sick again.

Cheers.

Tree Branches

I'm not sure why I love looking at tree branches so much.

Maybe it is because they look like arms forever reaching.

Maybe it is because there is a wonderful symmetry in them if you look long enough.

Maybe I'm just a little strange.

Cheers.

The Big Tree at Goose Island State Park

Over spring break my family went down to Rockport, TX and we visited Goose Island State Park which contains this wonderful tree.

The Big Tree as it is aptly called is over 1,000 years old.

Pretty cool.

Cheers.
