Walk On | Crisp cold Crunch underfoot Distinct path forward |

till tapping into images shot on a cold December morning at the Konza Prairie, I am reminded of a thoroughly enjoyable visit. This native prairie preserve is jointly owned by The Nature Conservancy and Kansas State University and is operated as a biological field research station. The visually agreeable sloped topography is covered with shallow limestone soils unsuitable for cultivation. The preserve is part of the larger Flint Hills region, a narrow swath which runs through eastern Kansas from near the Nebraska border south into northeastern Oklahoma, encompassing the largest residual unplowed North America tallgrass prairie.
“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” - John Muir
