First Light

Prairies are an interesting habitat. Each day presents a different scene as some colors fade as others appear. As this morning’s rising sun slowly climbed over the horizon I wandered our pollinator habitat (our prairie) to enjoy the many colorful blossoms.

After our prairie burn this spring I was not sure what to expect. Would grasses dominate? Might wildflowers be plentiful? Maybe I would have weeds? Time has shown we have a mix of flowers and grasses. Yes, there are some weeds (thistles), but we are getting them under control.

Following is a sampling of blossoms from this morning’s prairie wandering.
