Where I Come From . . .

Burden, Kansas - population at the time was around 800 people.




This is the house I grew up in. If you pull the carpet up in the corner of the living room, you'll find roads drawn with crayon. My hand prints are in the concrete patio out back.


I've been driving the country-side lately and didn't realize how beautiful my "home" was until I looked at it from grown up eyes.



This area in South East Kansas is the beginning of the Flint Hills.



Never realized how "rolling" it was until I came back home.



Burning off prairie grass is an important step in maintaining the quality of the range land. The early April air, in Kansas, is scented with smoke and the view is hazey. But once all the burning is complete, the land becomes lush and green.










You can see for miles . . .



Here is a sneak peak at "Where I Come From."
