This out-flat prairie, sun burned and wind-scraped, spends winter draped in the dull range of color called earth tones; upscale tan or midlife beige, postmodern khaki or elite ecru. Everyday oatmeal. Then dawn crashes the sky, a circus parade drummed in by iridescent clouds of fire with midnight purple fringe, grasses catch gold, barns a torrid pink. Conservative land awash in blazing fluorescent hues. Earth tones again.

(WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo–I enjoy twisting these macro prompts to share our micro life here on the Colorado prairie. My photos are taken with my phone, on my farm. No psych, definitely not high tech.)
Okay, that is just about the best inspirational message for the new year that I can imagine. It is about to be printed and show up where I can see it every morning. Awesome!
Thanks. And a print out still isn’t as alarming and loud as the real thing.
True, but there is that whole “I am not on the prairie” thing. 🙂 It is currently right above my computer screen where I can look up any time I want and see it, AND is on the window pane of my back door so I can see it every time I walk out. Now, granted, I may get enough inspiration at some point to be less conspicuous, but for now, it reminds me of things needing reminding. 🙂
Heheh. I get it. I’m at my computer, every square inch of wall space has inspirational quotes, photos, cards, etc. The only open space is the windows and right out side the window are the same horses that are in the photos inside. Scheesh. I get it.
Stunning!!!
Thanks, Jennifer.
Fantastic–it seems you are “no less than sunrise” 🙂
Or maybe I wrote this to remind myself, in this dark winter time?? Thanks Stephanie.
What a great reminder!
Thanks, Lisa. We all need to be reminded who we are sometimes…
Words and photo left me breathless. WOW!
Perhaps you recognize yourself in that sunrise?? Thanks, Lynell.
