Although the western sky provided some bright sunset colors, my attention was more drawn to the eastern view, scuddy with pockets of light rain, filled for just a fleeting moment with a soothing interplay of pastel reflections in land and sky, hues both cool and warm blending together in a serene mosaic with the smells and sounds of a freshly wet landscape. The chorus of thousands of frogs reveled in the newly soaked prairie amidst a moist aroma best described as divinely earthy. Despite a lack of severe weather, this day in my last season of slide-film shooting would yield a deeply fulfilling storm excursion, not only because of this rich experience, but also, photogenic cloudscapes during the day and a great light show after dark. This is just the smallest sampling of what the Great Plains has to offer, weatherwise and otherwise, and a small part of the reason I come back year after year.
