There's a reason it's the most ecologically diverse state in the U.S.--the range of environments is mind boggling, and surprising, given the terraforming that went on there.<br />EE--Ok, no more pretty flowers for a while.

He said in an email back to me: "...caught the look, the feel, and the attraction of the area. although i think only okies can truly appreciate the understated beauty of the rolling plains, the black oaks, the hundreds of different types of grasses, low mountains (to some the high hills) and the wind. the every present glorious wind.
