I have to admit, I hadn't spent much time at the prairie part of this particular state park before.

The iPhone shots aren't too bad if the light is good. It's a give and take--if I don't have a camera and the perfect shot presents itself, I regret not grabbing the camera. On the other hand, sometimes I'm glad to just experience the scene without having to capture it. That's a difficult balancing act, though.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-52222433250454448502013-08-31T22:46:59.922-05:002013-08-31T22:46:59.922-05:00Thanks!

They're pretty diverse--from deep forest to open, sunny prairie.
