Changes in the Flint Hills – Blooming of Wildflowers on the Tallgrass Prairie of Kansas
One of the many gifts I have received from getting involved in landscape photography is being more attuned to what is happening in the natural world around me. Before I picked up a camera, I only really noticed the large changes going on in the natural world, mainly the change in the seasons. Since picking […]
July Print Of The Month
I’m a day early but I’ve started my July “print of the month” sale today. Since wheat harvest is going on and I have been out shooting wheat fields, I decided to July’s print of the month would be “Kansas Wheat” and as with all my print of the month sales, a 16×20 canvas […]
Early Spring in the Flint Hills
(5 shot stitched panorama, each frame ISO 100, 24mm, f/8, 1/20) Each year portions of the prairies in the Flint Hills of Kansas go through a fascinating transition, literally ‘rising from the ashes’. This is due to the controlled (sometimes referred to as “prescribed”) burning of the prairie in the very early spring. I love […]
A Couple of Late Burns in the Flint Hills
The controlled burning of the tall grass prairie in the Flint Hills for this spring is over and the vibrant greens of the grasses and the varied colors of the wildflowers are making their appearance now on the hillsides. I always love it when the color seems to just explode back into the world after […]

My First Trip of the Spring to Photograph the Waterfalls at Pillsbury Crossing
This past Saturday I was up and out the door before sunrise to do some photography, with my initial plans being to head to the Pottawatomie County Lake #2. As I was leaving Manhattan, the pre-dawn sky was showing a light pink color that was really pretty. I didn’t think I had enough time to […]

There will be lots of photography on display from a number of different photographers and we will be putting on some presentations throughout the weekend. I will be […]
Photographing the Spring Burns in the Flint Hills
Each spring, large sections of the tall grass prairie in the Flint Hills of Kansas are burned off. If you don’t know what is happening this can seem like a strange (and maybe scary) process. The fires you see in the Flint Hills each spring aren’t “wildfires” though…these are intentional fires that are normally well managed […]
