TALL GRASS PRAIRIE

The Flint Hills area in mid-north Kansas has the largest acreage of prairie in the U.S. Five million acres of prairie is still present in the rocky, limestone area called the Flint Hills. Liz and Howard Beikmann live right in the middle of this area, and right outside of Manhattan, we stopped at a historical scenic spot to take a few pictures. This area is beautiful now in spring with all the greenery.

FLOWERS ARE IN ABUNDANCE (WITH MANY MORE KINDS TO BLOOM)!

AND ONE HUMBLE GRASSHOPPER

My pictures hardly do justice to the vastness of the Flint Hills area. When standing on the Beikmann hill, a power plant 30 miles distant was very easy to see.
