Early Morning on the Prairie

  Since we were up and dressed early this morning we made a run to the gas station. On the way home we watched this gorgeous sunrise changing minute by minute.

 Another treat! A buck with a nice rack was watching us pass. We stopped, he stayed, and when I said "good morning" to him he wagged his tail and raised his head a little higher. He made no attempt to run away!

There are many scenes like this across the prairie, old windmills no longer in use. Some are, though. I liked this picture, with the trees having just lost their leaves. It looks lonely there.
