Prairie Wildflowers, June 10, 2011

Four years ago I sowed a sunny, clay bank on my property at Kingsville, Missouri with a seed mixture of native Prairie wildflowers and Prairie grasses. This year, I took these photos of the result to demonstrate the exuberance of tall grass prairie in late spring and early summer.

Exhibit, Unitarian Gallery, Kansas City June 5 to July 1, 2011

This image attracted most comments yesterday at the opening of my exhibition of photographs at the Unitarian Gallery, 4501 Walnut Street, Kansas City, Missouri. I took the shot as the only way of eliminating cars from any street shot in Lavenham, Suffolk, England. The small town has a wonderful and contiguous collection of homes from Tudor Times, but the residents as well as visitors clutter the place with their cars and spoil the atmosphere.


To make the shot more interesting, I applied what is called a bleach bypass to desaturate the colors.


All the photos that I show at the exhibit can be viewed on my website using this link, from where you can visit any of the other albums that I have posted on my web sites.
