“Fall Grass, Shadow Valley Ranch”

Santa Fe artist Charlie Burk has a fantastic series of grass paintings. I saw a few of them during a visit to the Winterowd Gallery in Santa Fe in 2014. Inspired by these, upon returning to Kansas I made a dozen outings in September, October, and November photographing the prairie grasses as their color progressed from green to red-gold and amber.

I followed this spring storm northeast from Wichita to the Shadow Valley Ranch, where I often photograph. In the storm’s wake, the muddy roads were a challenge, but as the storm receded toward the southeast and the low sun illuminated the recently-burned hills, the view was worth the effort.
