A Different Landscape

For My Friend in Burbank, originally uploaded by Cielo Azul Images.

This past week found us traveling to and from Eastern Kansas. While most of our time there was dominated by cloudy skies, temperatures were still warmer than we were used to in Southern Colorado. Spring has definitely arrived there as the grasses and trees were beginning to turn green. I didn't have a lot of time to get off the beaten path and take photos, but we did go for a "Sunday Drive" after I spoke at church. Being that the church we spoke at was in the middle of the country already, we just took the long way home and enjoyed hearing the old history of rural Kansas from Grandma. What a life she has lived, as well as those of her generation. We even saw the old outhouse still standing that almost claimed the life of my mother in law, who at the time was a small and scrawny little girl. But that is another story!

And Clyde, if you are reading this, I took the above photo, and a few others thinking of you now living in the Southland.
