You are lucky to have such a place to keep watch.
ReplyDeleteI do feel fortunate. There are so many great parks and restored prairies around Madison. I wish there were more in the state and throughout the Midwest.
DeleteBeautiful. I do love late summer wildflowers.
ReplyDeleteYes, the prairies really come to life late in the season. :)
DeleteEver changing but beautiful with each shift in the season.
ReplyDeleteIt is. :) We hike here (state park) at least once a week. We've considered trying to buy a house nearby, so we'd be close enough to walk.
DeleteNice series of the changing views. Marvelous!

Thank you, and thanks for stopping by. Your photos on your blog are stunning! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteLove the progression of photos - the prairie is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's ever-changing, that's for sure. It will be even more colorful in the weeks, months, and years ahead (after the prescribed burn).
Deletehow nice to share the progress of the praire. And the use of fires in a good way.
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun to follow the progress in this particular location. It's not the most colorful section, as it turns out, but still fascinating to see the changes. Autumn should be vibrant.
DeleteI have been to the prairie in most of those seasons, but it's always hard to remember exactly what it looked like last time. So this was a treat. And I have to admit I love going now when the grasses and plants will be over my head.
ReplyDeleteI agree. :) This is at Lake Kegonsa State Park. I suppose I should have mentioned that, even though it's a wordless meme. Maybe in the tags.
DeleteI love to see the changes with the seasons. Your golden rod is glorious right now. I see a field of goldenrid through my window -- not as dramatic as your prairie, but lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteGoldenrod is so special, isn't it?...and so many species! I can't keep track of them all. I'm starting to see lots of Asters blooming, too. Transitioning to autumn...
