A Scissortail stopped by to see what I was up to so dang early in the morning….

It was a beautiful sunrise this morning with a ribbon of cloud framing the view….

A lone turkey out for his sunrise stroll along the water’s edge….

What a show off…

And the fishermen gathered….

Judging from the size of his fishing pole, I would venture to guess this man has bountiful expectations this morning….

Many of the meadow wildflowers have faded, but their golden glow in the morning light can still catch the eye….

A gang of spent wildflowers still stand tall and proud (looks like Lemon Mint to me)…

And you can occasionally find a solitary wheat stalk with kernels ready to drop amongst the prairie grasses and wildflowers….

Pictures from the BRIT (Botanical Research Institute of Texas) and the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens: So is this guy winking, waking, or wanting?

Patterns in barrel cactuses….

Imagine that…I found another coneflower to photograph :)

Wheat (thins)….

The Kansas Harvest Daily Cap(s) (161)

Harvesting apricots with an old harvest basket pole…still works like a champ!

A more modern(?) way of harvesting apricots: shake a tree limb and try catching the falling fruit in a bed sheet (and in this case, the good one do land close to the tree)…FGs Lincoln sure didn’t care much for this method (no…he didn’t get “beaned”)

Wheat harvest is well underway in north central Kansas….

The pie cherries were very near ready…maybe another few days is all that’s needed (they were oh-my-gosh tart – notice the one missing…hmmmm, who could have done such a thing?)
