Most of the Arkansas River is flowing below ground, through the sand. Above ground, the channel is about a foot deep and fifty feet wide. I liked the textures of the Cottonwood trees, with buds waiting for March, the red twigged willows, and the yellow and reds of the rushes and prairie grasses. It is impressive as a large print. South of Bentley, Kansas. February 11, 2006.
I was impressed by the texture contrasts in the delicate high ice clouds, the prairie hay, and the foreground weeds. Eastern Norton County, Kansas. October 30, 2005.
Pulling a grain drill around this field in ever-smaller rounds, the farmer had to leave unsown gaps at each corner. Upon reaching the center of the field, he then 'drilled out' the four corners, producing the pattern revealed in this photograph taken several weeks later, when the wheat is 4-6 inches tall. Along US 36 near Prairie View, in Phillips County, Kansas. October 30, 2005.
