Bald Pated Prairie -- November 2020

This is another two-part post for this week, as I'm way behind on the "weekly" nature of this blog. 

This picture was taken near sunset at Star School Hill Prairie Conservation Area in northwest Missouri in the Loess Hills (far northern Atchison County, MO). This location was referred to by William Clark as "bald pated prairie" during the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the crew spent a day exploring the area during the summer of 1804. While much of the tree foliage was gone by now, the lighting at sunset made for a beautiful prairie scene.
