I love to drive across I-70 through Kansas. I drive to see my son and family in Columbia, Missouri. I love the sunflowers and the hardwood trees in fall in Eastern Kansas. I enjoy those windmills too!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Kansas and now I can see what I've been missing. I am officially adding Kansas to the list of places in my "bucket list". Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos and thanks for stopping by to visit....
ReplyDeleteO my, this is really special to see, thanks for sharing! We don't know this landscape at all in our flat country ... I would love to stand on a hill and watch it there. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter & hugs, Carolien
Oh, it really is so breathtaking. Lovely photos! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, we need to keep wide open land like this....who needs more shopping malls and houses anyway?
ReplyDeleteThat is truly beautiful! :) Just dropping in from Jenny's place! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous. Not many open spaces anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place. I'd like to visit someday. Maybe a family camping trip :-)

What a lovely hillside! It is beautiful and peaceful, what an enchanting place!
ReplyDeletewhat amazing picture you showed for the letter K..
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! What is beautiful about the prairie is that you can see so far. I love that..the feeling of time and space..
ReplyDeleteI remember many years ago when we took our children for a trip across the United States and when we went through Texas we stopped by the side of the road and turned all 6 loose. They ran and tumbled and yelled and went nuts. It was wonderful! I always wished I could have raised them in the wide open country instead of with little back yards...sidewalks, cars flying by...you know?
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I always love to see you!

I love the Kanza prairie. It's my favorite drive in Kansas especially once the hills turn bright green! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting such pretty pictures of my home state! I'm always in awe of the beauty of the state every time we drive through the Flint Hills.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.

Kansas is one of my all-time favorite states. It is so beautiful, and the people are just the nicest you will ever meet. Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories of a lovely place.
ReplyDeletethat looks spectacularly beautiful! lucky you to be so close to such beauty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful part of the world. When I read 'prairie' I always think of our three Prairie Provinces, but your prairie is lovely too. Thanks for the geography lesson!
ReplyDeleteDarling popped in to wish you and your family a joyous and blessed Easter.
ReplyDeleteLove & Hugs

Beautiful K post :)!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. Makes me wish I could travel more and see all of our countries beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed gorgeous scenery! Thanks for showing us.

Flint Hills, huh? Isn't Manhattan in the Flint Hills? Our KMCO did grad school at KSU but we didn't get to visit them much there and never really got outside Manhattan. Looks beautiful and indeed a great outing.
ReplyDeleteDo you live in the KCMO area?
I haven't made it to Kansas yet but these photos have me convinced I need to add it to my list!
ReplyDeleteI have only been to Kansas once, but your photos are lovely. I wish you and your family a blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
We love the Flint Hills--they are soo peaceful and quiet. When standing out in the hills you are really one with nature.
ReplyDeleteEverywhere you look it just seems to go on and on. Each season is sooo different in the hills.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

So beautiful, makes me want to go for a drive in the country. Hard to find much of it around here anymore. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I used to own this obscure book called "Off the Beaten Path".
ReplyDeleteI think someone in my family burned it because I was forever dragging my kids on vacations to see some wonder or another.
One very, very long trip we drove to see a prairie. One of the only remaining pristine prairies left in America.
So we got there after driving like five hours out of the way and my husband at the time said "ummm....OK, it is a field that needs brush-hogged. Wow..."
Your post made me remember that.
I'm glad your family was more appreciative!
Great stop on the journey through K on Alphabe-Thursday!

It is really beautiful. I love in the "Sarah Plain and Tall" dvd series the way they talked about the prairie. Thank you for the lovely post.
ReplyDeleteit is beautiful...I can just imagine herds of buffalo running in days past......
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Made me think of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE. Loved that series. I'd like to visit Kansas someday. Thanks for sharing these photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, but I've always thought Kansas was such a green and pretty state. We went up there when we lived in Oklahoma.
