The world seems awfully turbulent and noisy right now, and I don’t know about you, but I could use a little calm and serenity. In my world, calm and serenity often come from a quiet walk through a prairie early in the morning or late in the evening when the light is soft and the breeze is even softer. I’ve been fortunate to enjoy a few of those mornings and evenings this month, and I’m hoping maybe a few photos from those tranquil times might bring a little peacefulness into your life as well.

Peace be with you all, my friends.
