Scenery Shots

Hello, everyone!  It's me, Cammie, here with the "scenery shots" from our most recent trip to Cheyenne Bottoms and Quivira NWR, as promised!  These are the iPhone shots Mom took along the way.

We know we're starting to get close when our Flint Hills turn to more gentle, soft hills ...

South Central Kansas

... then the landscape flattens out altogether!

Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area

On our way from Cheyenne Bottoms to Quivira, we saw lots of Sunflowers growing alongside the road!

Sunflowers!  ... and a dragonfly at about 11 o'clock!

And more inside Quivira itself:

Here is a shot of some of the marshland:

Quivira NWR

If you look closely, you can see American White Pelicans, Great Blue Herons, and assorted ducks!

On the way home, we stopped in Ellinwood to do a little walking:

I'm not really cranky; the sun was in my eyes!

We also had a snack and a water break:

"You get a drink, Cam.  I've got your six!"
"OK!"

"Don't worry; there is plenty for both of us!"
"Slurp, slurp ..."

After that, it was back through the hills and homeward!

Kansas!!

Thank you for letting us share the beauty of our state with you!  We ❤ Kansas!

Cammie!
