Glad I could oblige you! (That's prairie talk.)<br />MsRobin--I used to live in Columbus, do you mean central Ohio? I remember seeing some pretty, almost northeast areas along I-70 east of Columbus.<br />Gail--Yes! It is home! I used think I wanted mountains, forests, and lakes.

It took me forever to figure out what my high school art teacher was saying about the importance of negative space. I have always liked meadows late in the season, but have never gotten to see a prairie until this summer. This was a very nice post.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-45189909066027865482009-09-18T18:30:19.437-05:002009-09-18T18:30:19.437-05:00Lovely grasses indeed.

My husband and I drove home (west to Montana) across North Dakota several summers ago, and I was swept away by the grasslands--so green, so varied, so beautiful. I kept wishing I knew how to transfer what I saw to cloth.<br /><br />I think your wife's got a point about the mouse's nest, by the way.

I live in central Ohio, and those photos could have been taken right down the road from my house. Charming indeed! The beauty is often subtle, but I truly appreciate it, in all seasons.

This will do for now. Thank you much Benjamin. The halo grass in the third from the bottom picture looks very much like a common roadside grass here in NC that I always tell myself I need to find out what its name is. It literally glows in the right light.Christopher C.

I'm fond of little bluestem, but it might be too little for my small spread. Glad you stopped by.<br />Susan--I agree. Wait, that's mean. I'm sorry. I adore you, you know.<br />James--Why of course there are hills, even nowhere near streams or rivers. But these aren't big, you know.

No wonder you chose it for your wedding! I loved the comments about shadows, too. What is light without shadow, or shadow without light?
