The weather here has been really nice the last several days. We’ve got snow and wind coming later this weekend, but today was a beautiful day. After spending most of the day indoors, I needed a break, so I headed across town for a prairie hike. The late afternoon light was very nice, so I checked out my square meter photo plot at Lincoln Creek Prairie, took a few photos within that plot, and then wandered more broadly around the prairie.
Here are a few photos from today.
The Prairie Ecologist 
I’ve wished for years for a field guide that would show only seedheads and fruits. Given your camera skills and your obvious enjoyment of this stage of a plant’s life, maybe you should be the one to do it!
Thank you for showing us the beauty of winter in prairie plants.
I am fascinated by the variety of solutions that prairie plants have to protect and disperse their seeds.
Lovely images!
Beautiful.
