As we near the end of another year, I’ve put together a collection of my favorite images from 2014.  I hope you enjoy them.  Though I traveled to prairies in several other states this year, all of my favorite images ended up being from Nebraska.  (No offense to the beautiful grasslands in those other states – it’s just the way it worked out this year.)

The slideshow will run on its own, but you can speed it up by clicking on the arrows to move through the images.

Thanks, as always, for your interest in prairies and this blog.  Knowing there are others who enjoy the beauty and complexity of prairie landscapes is very satisfying.  Have a great holiday season!

If you want to see similar collections of images from previous years, here are links to 2013 and 2012.

 

Thank You

Thanksgiving (the holiday) is tomorrow, but I didn’t want to wait to express a quick, but heartfelt, THANK YOU to all of you who read this little blog.  When I started this project about four years ago, I really didn’t know what to expect.  Today, we are closing in on 2,000 subscribers, and the rate of new subscribers is not slowing.  Many other people don’t subscribe, but read the blog regularly, and still others stumble upon it periodically, looking for a photo of or information on a prairie species or issue.  The site averages about 15,000 views a month (from all around the world) and that doesn’t count many subscribers who just read each post directly from their email.  Can you believe that many people are interested in prairies??  Wow.

I get immense gratification from writing this blog, largely because it helps me keep learning.  I learn as I prepare and write posts, and I learn even more from you through your responses to them.  Most importantly, just knowing that I have to keep coming up with new blog post ideas keeps me energized and inquisitive, and for that I am truly grateful.

So – to those of you in the United States, have a fantastic Thanksgiving, and to all of you…

Thank you
