What a Difference a Day Makes…
Here are two slides shows of images made on February 23 & 24, 2017. I almost never go to the prairie two days in a row and also never take the same route twice. But on these two days, waiting for a winter storm to blow in and then during the storm, I thought it would be interesting to see how the prairie changes from day to day… sometimes dramatically.

December, Once Again
Here is a slideshow from December, 2013.
With these I completed my “Circle Around the Sun.”
I photographed Nine Mile Prairie an average of twice a week for an entire year.
It has taken another year to edit all of the photographs
and to publish them to this website.
I began this project shortly after my 65th birthday. Tomorrow I will be 67.
There is more to come…
