Peaceful GlowPosted by drfl on May 20th, 2009
While growing up my parents always thought it was important to travel the area in which you live. This doesn’t mean that’s all we did, but we would make it a point to see some of what the area has to offer. Since I grew up in Nebraska I had the opportunity to see western Nebraska, Scottsbluff, Chimney Rock, Pioneer Village, and other parts of the state many people never see. Now that I am adult with my family, I have also tried to plan trips for my family to see the different areas close-by.
Today’s post comes out of my recent trip with my family to the Valentine, Nebraska area. It’s an image of the grasslands and prairie in the sandhills at Ft. Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge. At sunset on this particular evening the grass glowed golden with the light of the setting sun and the clouds reflected the last color of the warm light in the distance above the hills.
