The Pawnee National Grasslands of northeastern Colorado are filled with hidden treasures that are easily overlooked when one is in a rush to get to the mountains.

HiAudrey,
Your pictures are charming, and your writing is poetic. In the prairie section, I particularly like the two prairie dogs, who seem to be singing a duet. 🙂
What make and model of camera do you use? And, how did you choose it?
Note that it’s very hard to read the field names in the Leave a Reply” section because of the black background. Would you consider changing the background color?
Thank you for your comments, Roger! I’m glad that you like the photos. My camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ200, though lately I’ve also added a Nikon P600 for some of the forest and wetland images because of its longer zoom capability. I’ll take a look at the Reply section and see if anything can be done to change the background. I really appreciate your feedback! – Audrey
