Drama in the skies...

Who doesn't love drama in the skies?  From a distance of course!  It's a bit scary to be out in bad weather but it was hard to let these dramatic scenes pass by without capturing them.  Since the sun was setting the sky reflected some awesome colors.  My favorites taken from our front porch on this late day in June are provided below.  Enjoy!

Harvest time, prairie wildflowers and butterflies

This year was my first for capturing golden wheat ready for harvest.  It was the same time wild prairie roses bloom along with the milkweed and blue sage wildflowers.  The pearl crescent butterflies took advantage of the milkweed plant and didn't mind being photographed, letting me get real close to them.  My favorite images captured on this beautiful day in June are included below.  Enjoy!
