My World #3

Last week I shared some photos that might not have looked at all like Kansas. This week is more traditionally Kansan. South east Kansas is a land of gravel roads, and small towns that once served as centers of rural farm communities mixed in with the old mining 'camps'.
This time of year the ravel roads are lined with fields of soybeans and corn ready to harvest. White tail deer begin the rut soon and are seen more and more at times of day other than dawn and dusk.

Theres always something down the road here in South East Kansas.

Halloween Lawn Art

Halloween brings out the best in lawn art for some folks.
Small towns are full of folks that look forward to expressing themselves at the drop of a hat or maybe a holiday. These temporary displays appear and then are gone a day or so after the holiday or occasion or even an election. Lawn folk art is an elusive thing, one persons masterpiece is another persons eyesore.
We found this lawn in a small town south of where we live last week, I love it.

ABC Wednesday Letter O

O is for color orange seen here in the bittersweet that lights up the fence row near our pasture.

My wife makes her annual hunt for it among the other plants avoiding the poison ivy, most of the time.

My World Tuesday

My world is South East Kansas, a landscape a bit different than the rest of our state. Great swamps millions of years ago became the coal beds that immigrants began mining a hundred years or more ago. Today these areas are thick with trees and undergrowth that shelter deer, turkey and owl.

A few thousand or so acres of small lakes dot the landscape and provide homes for bass, water snake and great blue heron.
