After today's warm weather, snow is not what is on my mind. However it is inevitable. Soon we may be seeing some prairie snow ❄️ 🌨️ tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/11/19/wai… via @phrelanzer


Sometimes all you need is a hike. The prairie is an ever changing place that can still be a comfort in times of hardship. tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/11/12/the… via @phrelanzer


It's November. The blooms are gone and replaced with seeds. Each seed represents a new plant that will help diversify the prairie. Not as beautiful as the flower but even more important for the future of the prairie! tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/11/05/a-v… via @phrelanzer


Did you know that remnant prairies are like ghosts of the past? And some are even found in cemeteries? While you can, try to take a walk in these rare habitats. It a treat while we still have some. tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/10/29/gho… via @phrelanzer


Oh October, how fast you have come and now are almost gone. But you brought about colder weather and a different prairie landscape. Golds, browns, reds, whites...come see it for yourself. The October prairie magic! tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/10/15/oct… via @phrelanzer

The sun slants differently this time of year. It gets dark early. There are many things to accomplish between now and the end of the year. But don't forget to take even a short hike and experience the shift on the prairie. You won't regret it! tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/10/01/an-…


Autumn has arrived. Although wet now, soon you'll be able to walk through the prairie and view, smell, and feel this transition period. 🍂🌼 tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/09/24/sep… via @phrelanzer

Crisp air. Is it fall? The prairie is starting to think so, but the weather will turn more summer in the coming days. Get out soon or you may miss this transition into fall... tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/09/10/the… via @phrelanzer
