So I haven't posted much lately, nor have I had tons of "wilderness" time. Have had some though, and I will get to that.
But today was a slow, dreary day at work so I took the camera along and took a few shots of my workplace. I work at the local state park (Ponca State Park) and it is a beautiful place in the Missouri River Bluffs. Thought I would share a few images from a misty, rainy day at work.
First, some camping along here. Not a good place to camp if it rains, unless you like having your tent flooded. This is all a big ravine where tons of water flows down when it rains hard. Have seen it as a river a couple times.
This is a gravel road that leads to our shooting ranges. They're mostly used for special events and EXPO, the huge outdoors show that the park puts on every year.
Tallgrass prairie. We've got lots of it.
Missouri River
Next couple shots are from vehicles, but I thought they were worth sharing anyhow.
Forest in motion.
I love the concept in this picture. The mirror and other nearby stuff is a bit fuzzy because I was just hand holding the camera. Tried a couple more times but the first shot was the best.
We have loads of turkeys. This picture needs to be cropped, but I was way too lazy for it tonight.
This is some ground adjacent to the park, but there are plenty of similar views with tallgrass prairie on park grounds. I snapped this one mostly because of the mist clouds hanging on the bluffs.
To be continued...
