Golden Hues

An early morning stroll through the prairie fields in Elm Creek Park Reserve. The colors are muted in a sea of beige. Virtually colorless until the spring rains.

    What a contrast between the two. Even without the blue sky which is stunning the top shot has very tactile textures. The beginning of Gladiator where Crowe runs his hand through the filed comes straight to mind.

    Well, Babooshka is thinking of Gladiator, I'm thinking my childhood watching Little House... ;-)) To me these two beautiful shots are evocative of the American Midwest and West, I love them and now I want to know more about Elm Creek Park Reserve!

    Gorgeous even without color. Nice captures DL. You'll have spring up there at the North Pole one of these months.

    Such a brilliant blue sky, makes a great contrast behind the wheat. Very nice!

    Thanks Rob... Love the subtle color and texture of the grasses, and the contrast with the brilliant blue. I can feel the experience just by seeing. Dave
