As March grows nearer along with the “official” spring date the landscape in Siouxland will begin changing like everywhere else. And sometimes it’s not the grandiose landscapes that can draw one’s attention, but those “scapes” that are small in nature.
Somedays it is very easy to walk by and never cast a glance at the small things always taken for granted. Thoughts of “I don’t want to get my feet wet” course through my head as well. Let along lying down in the grass to make a photograph. But then these scenes would never be recorded or seen by others if one wanted to share. Let along someone else really caring about blades of grass. But the seasonal moisture decorates the surroundings in some marvelous ways. Some are just more slippery than others.
Thought we were getting ready to hail in spring here, but now I’m looking at the white stuff coming down outside – might have to head back to Vegas ha.
I live in the Siouxland area that encompasses a wide swatch of land in northwest Iowa, northeastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota. The people that inhabit this area are generous folk and your basic honest, Midwestern people you like to have as neighbors. I explore the area and share observations, mostly photographic, sometimes through video, and and short text. All images and video are copyrighted material of the author.

A lovely series. I enjoy taking these “intimate” landscapes too.
Belinda, Thank you for checking out this post. Most days it is easy to overlook those details. But as you say, enjoyable when one takes the time.

Didn’t realize the birds liked the desert as well. Or maybe I just didn’t pay attention when I lived in West Texas. Am sooooo ready for spring.
