| Trail at Pawnee Prairie Nature Center Wichita, Kansas |
I have been hiking quite a bit at our Pawnee Prairie Nature Center. Lots of beautiful Kansas scenery makes the senses go wild. I am not sure what I do most of...hike or take pictures. The above photo is very Kansas...fairly flat with lots of grasses, wildflowers and big open skies.

| Our backyard this morning after a storm |
We have had so much rain here in Kansas and everything is so green. It sure does make it a lot easier to pull weeds. I have been spending hours and hours in the backyard working.

Of course no day would be complete without at least one little sketch. The above sketches are from weeks ago....the crazy girl on the left is a favorite.

I've been doing a lot of bird watching too and this sketch was done last night.

| Oriole |
Kansas has gorgeous birds...Cardinals, Blue Jays, Orioles, Golden Finch, Purple Finch and if you're lucky, you might spot an owl from time to time. I often stand at the widow waiting for that perfect picture. This is an Oriole...a little blurry...but you get the idea of what a gorgeous bird this is. Its song is about five notes long and sugary sweet-sounding. What kinds of birds do you see where you live?
Until next time! Have a beautiful week!
