Signs: Tallgrass Prairie
Late Summer is a special time in the prairies, with grasses gone to seed and a lazy feel to that most busy of ecosystems.
When I first moved to Wisconsin after a lifetime in close proximity to soaring mountains, I initially couldn't see prairies; they were only the absence of spectacular scenery.
It took me years to understand the awesomeness of the tallgrass prairie, because I needed to develop the eyes to see it. You can't see the prairie at distance. It's only visible in its glory up close.
Have you ever savored a prairie?

I live in Manitoba. We're surrounded by a huge sky, brilliant yellows of canola and gorgeous blue flax fields, the awsomeness of sunrises and sunsets fully visible, the awareness in all this space of how small we are. Nothing spectacular,peraps, this scenery, but a wonder.
