After a day or so of stormy weather, the clouds broke and the sun shone through. It was about 7:00PM when Anna and I jumped into the truck to follow the sun to see where it was going.
Facing towards the east, I took a picture of this prairie as the sun was falling quickly to the west. Interesting to note this prairie was tall brown grass which had been burned just a few weeks earlier.
The grass has grown quickly since the burn as well as other growth.
The few trees found in the prairie are sporting a new coat of leaves now.
As the sun continues to fall, this cow enjoys the rich new grass provided by the Kansas Prairie Burns.
The sun continued on its downward journey and I continued taking pictures of this beautiful landscape. I will include further pictures on my next post.

Such strong greens! I’m an Aquarian so my favorite color is green. Great photos!
Preston - these are all great! I love the stark simpliity of the first, flowers trapped in rock - what a way to survive, and the rolling green has such lovely movement and pattern. Hmm - the cow. I’ve got a few shots of ol’ Bossy myself!
Thank you Janet for the comments. I too love the lush green very much.
Bo I saw those flowers and just had to photograph them. They wanted to be heard. I did my best. If you want an advance look at the video, “Chasing a Kansas Sunset”, I’ll be placing up in a few days you can do so by clicking here:

I like this cow - surveying all that grass to eat.
A rancher told me once, eight acres of pasture should be allowed for each head of cattle.
