Not Just a Flyover State - Kansas Winter Beauty

I am proud to say I am from Kansas. Yep, born and raised there!
I live in Missouri now, right on the shores of Table Rock Lake and love it here, my heart will always belong in Kansas though. Yes, Kansas has wind, drought and tumbleweeds higher than fence rows (mostly in western Kansas) but the stark beauty is breathtaking.
Kansas is beautifully captured by Rob Graham, Graham Photography, who actually grew up down the street from where we lived in Burdett, Kansas. Rob lives in Great Bend, Kansas now, and I have been impressed by the photos he has taken of Kansas. The photos show the stark beauty of Kansas, and I am so inspired by his gift, I wanted to feature him here on my blog. Rob's photographs have appeared in numerous calendars by the National Natural Landmarks Program, which is part of the National Park Service.

My favorite, a close-up of a leaf with ice around the edges and a spectacular ice crystal, with 
a beautiful Kansas blue sky on a cold December day.
Kansas isn't just a flyover state!
